Some people may think this CD sounds like "marbles in a blender". I on the other hand, heard nothing of the sort. What I heard was terrific, hard-core Fusion, played by three great musicians. Killer CD. Maybe that person was looking for something different in this CD, possibly Pop, or Top 40 type music. I don't know why you look for this in David Torn. If you like the hard-hitting guitar style of David Torn, you will like this CD, "GTR OBLQ". Cleavon
