 Worth checking out June 29, 2008

If, like me, you have many many versions of most of these tracks, then, like me, you might have groaned when this one was released. With respect to set list, recording quality, and performance, Vrooom Vrooom is still the best release from the double trio. And still no double-trio Sheltering Sky; sigh! But this turned out to be worthwhile. What’s new: A lengthy and very distinctive soundscape (a colorful tropical paradise), the "Improv 1" string quartet, and an amazing version of Waiting Man. (THRAK also has a wonderful improv section.) And even where this overlaps Vrooom Vrooom, the percussion is consistently fresh and exciting -- even Thela Hun Ginjeet sounds fresh here, because Bill and Pat were rethinking everything.
