"... the great Pamela Z astounded in a suite of pieces from a tour of Japan...spotlighting digital delay, sampling madness, and body synthesizer. With a voice to melt the soul, the singer triggered sound with wrist actions and looped phrases into a wacky sound assemblage -- increcible! Multitracked four-bar phrases, added scat, and intantaneous overdubs were a 90's repsonse to Reich's "Come Out" and a post-modern swing-shuffle."
