Title track from our first disc, "Escape Velocity."  A serene burbling of loops leads drums rolls, St Elmo's Fire off on a bebop march towards the goal line, the buffet table of sharps and flats...

Venturing Out (Look Before You Loop)

The leaders of the oddly named duo, Kansas City-based percussionist D. Hitchcock and New York guitarist Sal Cataldi, first outlined their recombinant genre research on the 1998 cult smash "Escape Velocity" (Bad Egg 001), a jazz-inflected/noise &amp; dub fueled flight for the chill out room featuring star turns by the likes of Eno/Brand X bassman Percy Jones.This uncategorizable indie garnered raves from all edges of the cognoscenti universe including The Village Voice (“truly excellent… where Miles meets Midi”), JazzTimes (“an interesting potpourri of styles and spacious ambience”), Alternative Press , Aquarian Weekly (techie gorks, a free-funk direction reminiscent of Last Exit or Sonny Sharrock’s soundtrack to ‘Space Ghost’), CMJ,Fantastic Voyage System (“marvelous head candy, an all-out trip fest”) andFact Sheet Five (“part jazz, dub, funk, industrial and experimental, way more exciting than 99% of the music being released these days”) 2012 will see the release of their long overdue follow up, the darkly sonic "Gealago."
