"It's the best cover I have seen in some time. The musicians are T. Mikawa (electronics), Jun Numata (guitar and electronics) and Martin Escalante (saxophone), so it spells MNE, which sounds like NME, the New Musical Express, one of the leading British musical magazines from a long time ago. The cover is a perfect spoof of an old cove and also very much up to date with the slogan: "Goodbye brat summer! Hello noise fall!'). This trio recorded their music in December last year in Tokyo. I don't know Numata and Escalante, but Mikawa has a long history in Japanese noise, including Hijokaidan and Incapacitants. Here, he operates in a more traditional noise improvisation role, even when all three are loud. This is the kind of noise and chaos rather than the static noise. The three scratch, peep like there is no tomorrow and have a great freak out. Maybe this is too much noise-free jazz for the more conservative-minded noise lovers, which include me, even when I am not muchconservative-minded noise lover anyway. I like how the saxophone is buried inside the music, with all three players on equal levels and not one player being too dominant. Coupled with the excellent energy of the music, this is something to play very loud and your best attempt to drive out any unsolicited Christmas songs from your neighbours."-Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly
