The Wire {Ben Watson, April 2001}
“Sonic Liberation Front builds up a dialogue between Yoruba and bop from scratch, and it's an extraordinary listen."
The Wire {Ben Watson, Aug 2004}
“SLF reject the motifs that have congealed into cliche, and come up with a music where intuitive rhythm and analytical intellect jostle each other and become one... ludicrously superb."
Tom Moon, Philadelphia Inquirer, Dec 26, 2004
“A brazen conflation of free jazz, electronica, and Afro-Cuban rhythm. Those who think jamming begins and ends with Phish are urged to track this down immediately. “
Village Voice (Tom Hull) Number 1 Jazz Album of 2004
Yin and yang-fierce avant-sax and friendly folk songs united by shifty Afro-Cuban beats."
