A & A review
Got a nice “Ume in the Middle” review from A & A:
Some really pretty avant garde stuff. The pieces are composed, and I don’t hear a lot of improvisation. The real astonishment here is the wide range of sounds used to complete the songs. That these sounds (vocals, instruments and some electronics) come from a small group of people is most impressive. The best part is that even when the ensemble heads for the extreme, the center holds. Fascinating.
