"Nothing can prepare you for the poetry within that stings the senses like the hot breath of the poet. Communicating directly with the nerve endings of her hands Grenier's poetry shocks and thrills ... spoken or read - burns with a raging in the bluest part of a flame as the bass Rumbles along moaning, groaning and rumbling ... adding double the gut-punch to their rage ... The rhythm is often that of a racing heartbeat even as the words are shepherded by a meter that is dangerously free."
"Naked & Pure.
When you hear great music, be prepared to be touched in your soul. If true poetry is: wanting to see the world, to see it better, then this is a sparkling work. Tragically Hip pays homage to maestros of music from guitarist Jimi Hendrix to pianist Cecil Taylor and Gil Scott-Heron. Jane SpokenWord is a fine conjurer of sinewy imagery, with metaphors dripping with irony. Albey onBass's use of wild and fascinating harmonic rhythms played con arco, are most powerful in enhancing imagery."

"A truly remarkable meeting of spoken poetry with Nuyorican Poet Miguel Algarin and the improvised double bass of Albey Balgochian."
"Balgochian's bass is as expressive as the poet's voice.
