“With King Crimson alumni Tony Levin on the Chapman Stick
and drummer Pat Mastelotto, Markus Reuter brings is various
Touch Guitars and soundscapes to a tour of Japan back in
2022 to mix original compositions with a salute to Robert Fripp
in both sound and tune selection.
Vintage Crimson material
from the golden days are delivered with 21st Century Schizoid
fashion, as “Red” has Mastelotto delivering an avalanche of
percussion around the fiery metallic strings, while “Lark’s
Tongues In Aspic” is filled with angles sharper than the fins of
a 61 Cadillac. The progression of progressive rock is felt on
the intensely dark chocolate of the heavy hitting “Prog Noir”
while Reuter’s searing guitar veers around the electric pulse of
“Ringtone”. Levin and Mastelotto are a relentless rivulet on
“Tentacles” while the riff-laden “Breathless” is a mix of narrow
roads that wind around like a Morrocan market.
Both Levin and
Reuter make exotic sounds that have you wondering who is
creating what, adding to the Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride atmosphere
of the sonic journey. It’s a white knuckler, so hang on tight!” — George Davis, Jazz Weekly
