- "The first real session new york city's finest free flowing jazz 4tet TEST recorded 9/29/96 at Sonic Youth's studio. Indeed it was the 1st session ever recorded in SY's studio. Straight to DAT. This was TEST entwined in high spirit muse. As the tape was played back Test drummer Tom Bruno sprang up, shouted 'YES GOD!' and frugged holy ass across the floor. The group (Tom Bruno: drums, Matt Heyner: bass, Sabir Mateen: reeds, Daniel Carter: reeds) shook many sacred, yet earth-heavy, foundations that night. The opening track is an evocative free-chamber-improv piece spun w/ far fathomed collective organix. the next two pieces are dynamic smoke outs of true city-blown fire music. This session has been whispered about amongst cosmik cognoscenti for far too long and now's the time to sup upon its succulent soul -- indulge yrselves to the this feast of shared and magic'd wonder." -- t. moore - nyc - 1999
