Sounds Like: Jazz tipped on its head, taking it to places other producers haven..t dreamt about yet. (DJ 1999)This is lightyears ahead of what anyone else is doing. (footloose magazine 1999)No matter what musical style they choose to pursue, it always turns out to be utterly masterly. (Wax 2000)B.Friedman and U.Schmidt have released records whose obsessive detail, deep thought about sampling, righteous swing and belief that an excess of cheese leads to the palace of wisdom make almost everyone else look 20th century in their music making. (The Wire 2000)These days you can..t step into a lift without fighting your way through musicians all trying to impress each other with their knowledge of jazz. Yet when Uwe and Burnt get in, the others fall silent. (wallpaper 2000)Midnight Sound still remains the perfect soundtrack to 21 century horizontal dancing (Jockey Slut 2000)Bet you didn..t think something this mutated could be this funky (echoes 2001)Legends in their own circles of work, Bernd Friedmann and Uwe Schmidt have always used the alias to explore the outer limits of their love for jazz. The new album is much tighter in scope, sound, and execution, however Dixieland and the blues are used, abused, and knocked slightly of kilter. The results are subtle yet incredible. See Magazine (2005)The sombre blues "Funeral March" and the skipping doo-wop "How Long Is The Wrong Way" are two prime examples from another credible and inventive longplayer from these stalwarts of the "leftfield" scene. Impeccable. DJ Mag (2005)
