Released in 1981, this album brings together three American drummers: David Moss, active in New York’s avant-garde scene and known for his intense work with Dense Band and other projects; Andrea Centazzo, who has left behind numerous outstanding recordings including Fragmentos; and Alex Cline, whose deep contemporary jazz works have also appeared on ECM. This is an improvised session using not only standard drum sets, but also gongs, cymbals, various ethnic percussion instruments, and a vast array of small sound-making objects. Countless percussive sounds move around the sound field as if some living creature were rustling and crawling through the space, making for an extremely rewarding listen. Highly recommended. Also works brilliantly as a DJ tool.
