"Astounding new 24-minute 12" from one of America's longest-running free rock outfits. New York City's Tono Bungay features ace string picker Bob Bannister, who has lent his guitar talents to projects as diverse as Cat Power and Glenn Branca's recent100-guitar orchestra as well as releasing two solo LP's on Twisted Village. One could nary guess he was weaned on Finnish prog in Finland, no less! Drummer Tony Cenicola is content to lay down a solid backbeat for a few seconds before erupting into pure freedom, then throwing drumsticks at the kit (and audience), then whipping his drums with chains and whatever else is handy. Dada master Robert Dennis manipulates his masterfully planned Auto-Destruct labyrinth of bass, tape machines, and electronics, which is so beautifully planned by it's creator that it often self-destructs long before Robert pushes that big red button. Kluge is sonically closer to the two-track squall of their 1993 debut LP Rough Music than the careful ambiance of Wunderkammer with their focus sharpened by nearly a decade of dedicated work on their unique approach to sound."
