«Excellent quartet improv, mostly in live electronics and sampling mode.» «Things are changing yet again in the world of free improvisation, and 'Brackwater' is either a glorious last gasp or the birth of something new. I suspect the latter, but only time will tell.» «A wonderful recording by some of improv's finest.» «What most distinguishes brackwater is its participants’ restraint and control, qualities not always as evident in real-time improvisation as they are here.» «Brackwater is a sublime accomplishment for all four of these musicians. The album ably shrugs aside the questions of classification and idiom that have of late become so prevalent in the supposedly non-idiomatic realm of electroacoustic improv. Because it contains so many layers of detail, and because the musicians, with their disparate backgrounds, seem to gently push and pull these pieces in many different directions simultaneously, Brackwater feels like a genuinely collaborative effort—synthesis and combination without compromise. This music possesses a gorgeous muscularity, a mix of delicate beauty and dense energy that is perfectly balanced throughout the album’s length. » «It is one of the best releases featuring eRikm (besides his albums with Poire_Z) and guitarist Tomas Korber's strongest session to date. … Brackwater leaves listeners wanting more.» «Un bel disco, dalle molteplici sfumature e suggestioni che si avvicina alle miglior produzioni del sol levante.» «This is no slapdash reunion of "names", rather a well planned and better still developed quadrangular exchange among smart miscreants.» «Nos encontramos ante musicos visionarios que vislumbran un rico arsenal de posibilidades artisticas y visuales a través de los sonidos.» «A wonderful recording by some of improv's finest.» in the Top 10 of 2004, One Final Note |
