Drawing from the traditions of Sun Ra, the Art Ensemble of
Chicago as well as Miles Davis in his '60s and '70s electric
period, multi-instrumentalists Steve Rush, Tom Abbs and Geoff
Mann expand the trio format to new heights. From frenzied
free-for-alls to delicate compositions, Yuganaut take the
music out into outer space and back.
Stephen Rush, Tom Abbs, and Geoff Mann create genuinely
unpredictable soundscapes throughout this highly diverse disc,
but always with attention to organic development and flow...
Yuganaut proves that their chosen style of musical expression
can be the sound of something genuinely startling.
- Dave Lynch / All Music Guide
"Three men - driven by an inspired and fearless abandon - who
have come together to weave a sonic statement of utter
brilliance."
- Alex Jasperse / Muse's Muse
