Rob Mazurek and his Exploding Star Orchestra team up with legendary Free Jazz trumpeter Bill Dixon to construct one long thrill ride of textures and tempos. Though there are segments that live up to the band's name – and in fact Dixon is a comet of emotion there – it's the quieter sections where Dixon and Mazurek shine. There's something almost prehistoric to the sound as the two men trade ideas while percussion and very low clarinet fill out the space below.
