    .
    DIGITALLY REMASTERED. A strange and exciting collaboration between musical masters. Abstract, precise, and incredibly forward-looking, ACH WAS!? can be heard as never before in this new, pristine edition. Suggestive of directions electronic improv would take in the coming decades, this music retains an ability to surprise, delight, and possibly confound even thirty years on.

REVIEWS

"The brilliance of this album lies in the way it moves from electronic sound-oriented almost 'classical' probings to out-and-out hard free blowing maintaining consistent quality all the way. Thus through 'Luft Gebacken' and the title cut, the listener follows one of the pioneers of live electronics as he sets the foundation and Gumpert (inside the piano for a good deal of the time) and Malfatti (on pipapo, whatever that is) join in for engaging spacey explorations.... Respectful, sensitive, and emotive stuff." --Cadence

"While this LP finds drummer/electronic musician Tony Oxley at the more experimental end of his tether (i.e., not playing in a straight or out jazz combo), both sides have a warmth and delicacy that may make this record appealing to those typically wary of free-improvised music (though things do get a little wilder during the latter half of side 2). " -- Wm Berger, WFMU
