WIRE 299 - Jan 2009: "In 2006, UK promoters Arika invited John Butcher to tour a number of out of the way spaces in Scotland.

Butcher plays tenor and soprano saxophones, sometimes adding feedback and amplification. Such site-specific performances are unrepeatable, of course, but the CD shows that you didn't have to be there to get what he's doing." Read the whole review
