Wow!

What a great disc! I finally had a chance to sit down and listen to it from start to finish and I gotta say - these guys are cookin'! My personal favorite is Sam Sherry backwards - the head is, you know, pretty and all, but I really dig where they go with it.
The interplay between the bone and sax is just great on this disc and the rhythm section is right there, moving things along.
This is undoubtably my favorite recent purchase.

An Awesome Album
author: Michael Allard
"Regeneration X" is an incredibly eclectic set performed live by Equal Time. The great musical chemistry found amongst Thom, Derek, Mike, and Tim is effortlessly heard on every track. It makes for an undoubtedly interesting and unique sound that can only achieved by these musicians. This is also one of their most emotion filled performances. Thom just screams on his horn while Derek pounds on the bone with a certain tasteful, chaotic control. And then there's mike. He is nothing short of a god of thunder. His technical abilities on the drums are simply bewildering, but not overwhelming. He is great at feeling out the song's mood in its own environment. Tim Webb also gives an A list performance. He has a certain lankiness that melds with his technical abilities flawlessly. This album is a great example of avant-garde improvisational jazz at its best. It's worth every penny.
