'Four is simply a great album. .......... "ideality" can obviously be an enemy to recordings of improvised music, but this one captures something special, including that Runcible is one of the most compelling improvising collectives working today'.

'..........the energy erupts in spurts which are focused and intense and then calming down to a more hypnotic dream-like state.Another jewel from the FMR vault.' Bruce Lee Gallanter, DMGS
