Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

With this project, Iyer and Ladd have inspired each other to reach far beyond what either has done previously. Taken together, their influences cover the entire spectrum of modern music, and it shows. The mesmerizing sonic miniatures range from the ominous funk of �Security� to the luminous jazz orchestration of �Taking Back the Airplane,� from the rugged electronic programming of �TLC� to the noble cello-and-piano hymn of �Plastic Bag,� from the swirling improvisational grooves of the �Color of my Circumference� cycle to the mournfully programmatic composition �Asylum.�
