---------- press quotes ----------
“Taidemusiikin ja jazzin välillä risteilee moni, ja etenkin nykymusiikin ja jazz-improvisaation rajapinta kuohuu mielenkiintoisesti koko ajan. Haminalaisen Tomi Pekkolan resepti on kuitenkin persoonallinen ja erottuva. Säveltäjä ja kitaristi fuusioi nykkäriä ja jazzia kiehtovasti, ajoittain oikeasti sulauttaen, mutta antaen myös kummankin soida omilla vahvuuksillaan. Välillä kuulostetaan siis jazzilta, toisaalla nykymusiikilta ja useimmiten jäädään puolivälin kieppeille. Kokoonpanokin on sopivan epäortodoksinen: sähkökitara, viulu, kontrabasso ja rummut. Basisti Johannes Raikas ja viulisti Sirkku Mantere soittavat päätyönään Kymi Sinfonietan riveissä, lyömäsoittaja Samir Geper opettaa Kymen Konservatoriossa, Pekkola itse Haminan kansalaisopistossa. Levyn perusideaan eli juuri tuohon jazzin ja nykymusiikin yhdistämiseen on suuresti vaikuttanut englantilaisen Bruce’s Fingers -levy-yhtiön päällysmies Simon H. Fell. Pekkola lähti ideoinneissaan liikkeelle nykymusiikin puolelta, mutta Fell mentoroi mukaan vahvan improvisaatiopainotuksen. Hyvin tehty, Simon! Biacs-kvartetti toteuttaa debyytillään Pekkolan (ja Fellin) visiot oivallisesti. Posliinikaupan pitäjää saattaa aluksi kovastikin jännittää, sillä yhtyeen soitossa on särmää ja hyvä jännite päällänsä, mutta lopulta osoittautuu että Härkä kääntyilee ahtaillakin käytävillä sujuvasti. Eikä teutaroi minne sattuu, suunta on aina selvillä. Kiehtova kokonaisuus, jonka vahvuuksia ovat omaperäinen yhtyesointi sekä taidemusiikin ja rytmimusiikin luonteva vuoropuhelu. Ylipäätään hatunnoston arvoista on tämä Pekkolan rohkea oman tien kulkeminen.”

Thirteen Rectangles
by SFQI don't think I've ever experienced a more profound feeling of being guided by an unseen force than the day we recorded this 70-minute piece of complex and challenging music in one exhilarating take.

Bogey's
by Hession / Wilkinson / FellEarlyish days for Paul, Alan & myself. But an extraordinary gig, and a good reminder why this trio was (is) so special.

All Will Be Said, All To Do Again
by Sarah Gail Brand / Steve Beresford / John Edwards / Mark Sanderssupported by 11 fans who also own “Arcaics”
Bought this for John Edwards, one of my favorite bassists, but Sarah Gail Brand is the star. The songs seem to glide between composed and improvised passages with ease. I really enjoy her playing, both intense and subtle, adding bits of texture throughout. The rest of the band is top-notch, goes without saying. Always happy to find a new (to me) voice in free jazz.

BPA -2 Burns Longer

I favour Fred Van Hove more when he plays with other musicians. Here he plays with two great bassists , who could be his sons.
