REVIEWS

"With Alex Nahas conjuring an electric chamber orchestra on the Chapman stick and Mark Bernfield's gently propulsive percussion, Lauging Stock's impressive third CD, "Underskin", is indeed a continuation of the distinctive slow-burning sound begun on Talk Talk's "Spirit of Eden" and "Laughing Stock": amorphous, atmospheric, wavering between exhaustion and exhultation." Joe Brown, San Francisco Chronicle
