We keep returning to this mind blowing quartet album where bassist Carlos Bica,
saxist Daniel Erdmann, accordionist João Barrados and turntablist DJ Illvibe -
the son of titanic German improviser Alexander von Schlippenbach - bounce off
one another like never-say-die cartoon characters in a duel against time and
the edifice of a gigantic canon of Western music. Not meant to be a strict
overview of Beethoven and yet in the space of a single CD they pack in
everything whether a lift-off from the launch pad of the Leonore Overture, the
second movement of the 3rd cello sonata or the Moonlight Sonata among a whole
lot else. [...]
