"Most of the time, two wild dances or battles take place here in parallel: on the one hand, Özün Ueta and Korhan Argüden twirl around and around each other as if there is no tomorrow, and of course the playing together of the horns of Korhan Futaci and Brötzmann is anything but one gentle boat ride into the sunset but a delightfully manic inferno."
