“Hearing The Subterraneans for the first time was a hallelujah moment. Finally here was a band combining rock’s visceral energy with jazz’s lithe spontaneity, without compromising either.” – John Shand Sydney Morning Herald
“sophisticated improvising and lithe melodies harnessed to raw
power and savage riffs. The band is one of Sydney's strongest
live acts, and this brilliant studio debut catches all that
excitement, and delivers it with a mighty sonic punch.” -
Sydney Morning Herald
“The Subterraneans will almost certainly demand a re-think of how many people consider the music once called ‘fusion’.” - Limelight Magazine
“Effects from Bob Marley, Led Zeppelin and others are utilised inventively but the album is no mere exercise in sampling: it's a highly original collection amalgamating rock influences into contemporary jazz expression.” - John McBeath Weekend Australian
“This album should cure anyone of a prejudice against fusion, the playing of jazz over rock rhythms. My own conversion is prompted by the instrumental brilliance here. Led by saxophonist James Ryan, playing with the intensity of a latter-day Mark Simmonds, this quintet includes the extraordinary electric bassist Steve Hunter.”
- Eric Myers Weekend Australian
