A splendid tuba-and-chopsticks recital prelude prefaces "Wail On The Web"'s flight into premature cyberspace tuned to Randy & Zako, wherein the duo traverses musical galaxies with dimensions of multi-tiered tunery and dialogue. Ever soothing to the aural sensory anatomy, "Wail" is indeed a musical statement sporadically sprung backwards of our times, well scripted. A techno poetry slam, if you will. "Rodan" follows with an earful of shrillness and rhythmic horror sure to delight. R & Z broadstrokes the aural canvass for a soundscape heretofore unwarranted in The Business. The pulse of trains and trashcans emanate from this most spunky composition graced with the multi-digit crime-lab-confirmed fingerprints of Test Pattern. Complementing the Ardmore Gardens track trilogy is the reprisal "Whale On The Web," with ample doses of acoustic finesse and probing auditory interlude. The astute listener is treated to an insightful weave of thought and sound, sound and thought, lovingly rooted in magnetic particle. -- reviewed by Yeldarb Teaneck
