Barriers tumble on this lively, intelligent, and altogether remarkable album by
bassist Michael Formanek. The ideas flow so freely among the trio, which
includes saxophonist Tim Berne and guitarist Mary Halvorson, that it’s as if
they don’t belong to any one player, but to the music under construction. The
selflessness of the group improvising is exemplified on tracks such as “Apple
and Snake” and “Shattered” in which each note or phrase makes the piece sound
better, deepens the feeling, or shades the mood in subtle ways. There’s no
drummer, but plenty of rhythmic tension and release, creating a dramatic
storyline that keeps you riveted to the music. [...]
