    They listen to themselves, to each other. Then the picture suddenly comes into focus. Such bravery and unity of purpose are inimitable; they make Spontaneous Music Live a real joy, not just for the sounds it creates, but for the sounds it could have created, the knowledge that the next spark of perfect music is just around the corner.

    The reconciliation of centrifugality and cohesion is Spontaneous Music Live’s definitive characteristic.

    SML are a powerful formation, and Spontaneous Music Live is an incredibly fun document of the group in their rawest state.
