“This is another succinct on that speaks of a greater opus to come. However, with Peter Uuskyla, even the short pieces seem complete movements and ideas. Interestingly, the addition of a drummer seems to open space for Berg and Backman to diverge into mucky (Berg) and glimmering (Backman) territory. At other times (especially in the titular View-Master) they return to the contending interlace mode they adopted in much of Precipitation, though the machine gun rat-a-tat from the trap set propels them to new, spacey places. Much too short, but one of my favorites.”

“Many already well-trodden paths lead to this first trio collaboration project between these Swedish improvisers. Uuskyla, Backman and Berg have earlier been united in both a quintet and a quartet (Tinnitus Therapy Trip & Glas (5) – Live At Brötz Gothenburg and Baptet & Leavings with Mike Lloyd). Additionally, Uuskyla and Berg play on a regular basis in the trio Uuskyla Øgrim & Berg. In this recording from February 2020 a "friendly rage" of love and rage, subtlety and power, sensitivity and brutality“ can be heard. One could add the word humour from listening to the 1:30 short track I´m stuck. Stuck, but not surrendering, for this imaginative recording keeps searching for new solutions and hidden roads ahead be it with Anders Berg's hypnotic-insisting bass playing, Backman's bubbling electronics or Uuskylas never-ending conversations with his drum heads. “
