Three new Made To Break recordings from a 2014 European Tour on KV's Audiographic Imprint (I guess maybe d/l only?).
Quite early in the band's existence, these concerts (all three) are bursting with energy and ideas...I think they are a terrific ensemble, continually breaking new ground and all three concerts are special...open your ears to these recordings and the rewards are enormous. John Cratchley

The music of Cecil Taylor is, in my mind, a grand codex to the hidden (occult) corners of the universe and mind. He had this ability to tap into what appeared to be chaos but in truth was not. We, the listeners, are invited to welcome the challenge of understanding his decryption. This monolithic slab of recordings is evidence of the incite and talent he possessed.
Challenging is a word I don't use lightly and this comes from a lover of extreme metal. But, without challenge life is bland. Obstacle of Affliction
