"In
the goldfish bowl of free improvisation and experimental rock, Glass Cage's
linking of Shoji Hano, Hugh Hopper and Gary Smith represents a titanic
trio of Crosby Stills and Nash proportions. Hano debuted on Japanese traditional
drums at the Kokura festival in 1963, at the age of four, and hasn't stopped
pushing himself since; Smith wrangles strange sounds and runs out of his
guitar that would shame a speed-metal band; and it's a revelation to hear
Hopper's distinctive "fuzz-bass" unfettered from the more structured shapes
of the 1960's jazz-rockers Soft Machine."
