about

"The EP begins with CSE's title tune, and you get the idea when Gustafsson and McPhee begin to rip the air in the middle of the short song. CSE's two guitarists manage to recreate Jimmy Page's huge, primitive guitar riff on "Whole Lotta Love," which is still effective after more than thirty years, but it is clear that no singer can contest Robert Plant's vocal cords. In any case, Gustafsson's baritone solo and McPhee's supporting tenor sax skyrocket the song into the stratosphere. Nilssen-Love adds some Elvin Jones-que sophistication to Bonham's original thumping. The Yeah, Yeah Yeahs' "Art Star" was covered on The Thing's Garage; here it enjoys the reckless rhythm that CSE injects into the chorus.

McPhee shines through Don Ayler's "Our Prayer," first on his muted pocket trumpet and later in a beautiful tenor sax duet with Gustafsson. CSE's Bard Enerstad's organ adds a gospelish tinge to this quiet track, while Cato Salsa's gritty guitar pushes it to the edge. The concluding track, "Hardcore Mama," is a simple tune, just like the opener, that uses a catchy guitar riff and lets Gustafsson and McPhee blow the chorus as if they were in some left-of-center R&B brass band." -Eyal Hareuveni, All About Jazz
