Jonesing for the impending release of the third item in the Groundtruther trilogy, I decided to pick up Hunter & Previte's earlier collaboration. Here, they hang back a little farther from the 'edge', but there is still plenty to hold one's interest. It's hard to believe there are only two musicians playing live, Hunter with his eight-string guitar weaving bass lines and melody together in his inimitable way and Previte laying the foundation on his acoustic kit + electronic drums + sampler.

Out there awaiting a listen is also Previte's Coalition of the Willing, which includes Hunter, Sex Mob's Steve Bernstein, and features Stanton Moore, Les Claypool, and Skerik, among others.
