Give Mobile time, and it will fasten itself, embed its patterns, and stay with you longer than you could have imagined a solo percussion album ever could.
-
There are very few albums being made quite like this, so do partake.
-
Kotche delivers on all accounts, tastefully propelling the music into timelessness, nearly filling the shoes of his faves: The Band’s Levon Helm, Beefheart’s Drumbo.
-
Although these pieces are wrought with meticulous detail, they're rarely memorable.
-
The WireA high-level concept album that never wastes a note. [#266, p.59]
-
Demonstrates... that artists are rarely more inspired than when creating for themselves alone.

The New York TimesA studious, slightly overcomposed record; we don't hear Mr. Kotche's own rich, natural drum-kit sound so much as the dried fruit of his research. [20 Mar 2006]

MusicaliDrewJun 7, 2006Much better, much more musical than one would expect. It's not just an album of drum solos, it's an album of songs. Recommended by me.
