) sharing center stage with
's guitars and his Mellotron, which is pushed into the background. The music is the most experimental of
's career up to this time -- though some of it actually dated (in embryonic form) back to the tail-end of the

's departure three years earlier. What's more, this lineup quickly established itself as a powerful performing unit, working in a more purely experimental, less jazz-oriented vein than its immediate predecessor. "Outer Limits music" was how one reviewer referred to it, mixing
' demonic fiddling with shrieking electronics,

's melodic and usually understated percussion,
's thundering yet melodic bass, and
's guitar, which generated sounds ranging from traditional classical and soft pop-jazz licks to hair-curling electric flourishes. ~ Bruce Eder
