Absurd enthusiasm

"Det er intereuropæisk kontemporær jazz af den fineste slags. De spiller ekspressiv jazz, hvor Kasper Tom som trommeslager både kan spille flagrende som på "The Noise of Time" og tight swingende som på "Rondo a la Roder". Der er befriende meget energi og temperament i FUSK".

"FUSK relies on the rich jazz legacy but leaves enough space for free improvisations - individual and collective ones - often played with a joyful swing, in lightning speed and with evident, enthusiastic and energetic interplay. The front line of [Rudi] Mahall and [Tomasz] Dąbrowski enriches every theme with their imaginative language and always keeps the tension vivid (listen to their dialog on «Herbst Delights»), while [Kasper Tom] Christiansen and [Andreas] Lang feed them with powerful, driving rhythmic patterns. This approach is still effective and highly engaging, like watching a jazz band playing live at a club up close ... Christiansen is an ambitious composer and matches Afro-American jazz (...) with European compositional strategies with sober perspective and ironic ideas (...) and even incorporates the twelve-tone techniques for his compositions without sounding pretentious or academic".
