Mary Halvorson is a genius composer and guitarist who has developed her own musical language, and with Code Girl she has incorporated poetry into that language. Incredible compositions and lyricism (each track is a different kind of poem). Halvorson's playing is as great as usual, and all the other members of the band sound great. Robert Wyatt's singing in particular works extremely well in the tracks he's featured. Highly, highly recommend. rat

I've enjoyed Mark's playing for decades, flitting in and out of jazz, prog and experimental. This may be "none of the above", but an entirely engaging experiment regardless. Moving, and occasionally darkly humorous.
It reminds me of the great albums Hal Willner used to put out, marrying diverse artists to perform unique tributes on a theme (Thelonious Monk to Nino Rota, Kurt Weill to Walt Disney) -- except here, of course, Ribot is a through-thread. The theme's the title... power to the people! Dr. "Buzz" Frenzy (Matthew J Hesse)
