    This is Irreversible Entanglements at their most accessible, their free jazz roots tightly folded into song form. While the tighter structures of such tracks leave less space for improvisation, the band find other ways to expand the sound, as on "Panamanian Fight Song" where an ambient piano intro recurs as a reverb-heavy apparition.

    Displaying intensity, versatility and musicality in equal measure, Irreversible Entanglements is an indomitable force. Future Present Past is their best work yet.

    With Future Present Past, Irreversible Entanglements have delivered an album that matches the quality and creativity of its predecessors. At the same time, they’ve refined their vision – coupling familiar sonic elements with a new-found directness.

    Mining archetypal yet still fertile paradoxes, Irreversible Entanglements have much to teach us about inspiration, self-awareness, and truth-telling.
