"This could be the most muscular music that Frank Gratkowski has ever released. Spectral Reflections even tops Kollaps , the previous recording by this quartet, released on the Canadian label Red Toucan. There is something in this man's writing that seems to unleash the most vivacious passions of his acolytes."
