The powerful guitarists Bill Frisell and Vernon Reid team up for this hectic and passionate set of duets. Frisell also plays guitar synthesizer, "prepared guitar" and dx drums while Reid brought along his own guitar synth, "revisionist dx drums" and banjo. Although this set has some quieter moments, the nine group originals are generally pretty intense and full of personality. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
