The central figure here is drum wizard, Paal Nilssen-Love, a ball of immense, creative energy, who keeps pushing the other members of the trio. Euro free/jazz sax legend Peter Brotzmann has picked a perfect sparring partner here with the equally intense trombone great Steve Swell. This music is often exhilarating to the point of exhaustion but this is not everything we find here. On "Full Spectrum Response," the trio begins with suspense and restraint, just those soft burning embers and then slowly builds up again to some more colossal free yet focused improv. This just might be the best free/jazz disc of the year since it is just-dropping and edge-of-your-seat exciting/crafty throughout. Absolutely mind blowing! — Bruce Lee Gallanter, DMG

Die Soli der drei Herren (die beiden Bläser sind nicht nur musikalisch deutlich gestandene Mannsbilder) kamen allesamt spannend rüber, ein jeder bestach durch Musikalität und Technik. Klar polarisiert Brötzmann durch die Wucht seines Spiels, den bewussten Verzicht auf all das, was der klassische Musikunterricht dem angehenden Holzbläser beibringen will — Brötzmann ist eben ein grandioses Naturereignis, das man sich nicht entgehen lassen darf. — Westfälische Nachrichten, Februar 2015
