REVIEWS :
"Angular and funky post- punk jazz rock it smacks variously of the magic band, ornette coleman's prime time, pigbag, rip rig & panic, and the voice of god collective."
THE WIRE 270 AUGUST 2006********************************************************
************************************************************
************"Music à la Coque rende nuovamente disponibile un piccolo capo d'opera della musica radicale inglese, originariamente edito nell'83.Il quarto di secolo o quasi passato nulla toglie (anzi) al deflagrante potenziale di questo sestetto di Sheffield che aveva scelto una strada pericolosa e affascinante, in equilibrio tra il free funk di Ornette Coleman, le dissonate asimmetrie della coeva New York no wave, il ricordo pressante della stagione aurea del free jazz inglese."

*****************"The (re-mastered) music of Bass Tone Trap sounds remarkably fresh after all those years. Their punk jazz offers a nice mix of british funky new wave and free improvising."

"Le résultat : la musique d’une fanfare punk, allant voir, sans se poser de questions, du côté du Krautrock, de la No Wave et du Free Jazz. "

****"Disco interessantissimo, dunque, onore alla band e all'etichetta che ce li ha fatti riscoprire e la conferma che sono sempre le esperienze più inquiete quelle che ci parlano anche attraverso gli anni. "

****"But the overriding distinction pertains to the ensemble’s ability to adopt a unified and irrefutably focused approach. In sum, these artists' oddball nooks, crannies and excitable penchant for experimentation is firmed up by their playfully maniacal outlook."

****"All of inventions are bright creative and technically unexceptionable, groovy and crazy, - kind of a noir avant-garde exuberances magnum opus, even more worthy a buy considering the three bonus tracks (whose the last is an odd review from a radio slot made by two girls) here featured. Fantastic. "

****"Grande uscita per la temeraria ed ultraindipendente Music à la Coque, "Trapping" scivola fluidamente fra tradizione e toni dissacranti attraverso 13 traccie di puro coinvolgimento."
