Truly strong medicine for the tough times present and ahead. — Bruce Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery

The foursome’s interplay is intricately balanced, inherently exciting without overt melodrama, often ending in sudden hushes. So imbricated are the improvisations that it can be difficult to distinguish individual instruments. Ranging in mood from quiet ‘chamber jazz’ to extroverted power-rock pulsing, Barcode Quartet realizes an immensely satisfying musical gestalt. — New York Jazz Record
