We are incredibly excited to present the first duo album from Andrew Barker (Barker Trio, Gold Sparkle Trio, Acid Birds, Little Huey Creative Orchestra) and Daniel Carter (too many groups to mention) since 2001's "Common Soldier" (Qbico). "Polyhedron" finds Barker & Carter stretching the classic sax & drums duo into all kinds of wild territories and featuring each of their multi-instrumental talents throughout. Each piece is dedicated to colleagues that they have both worked with in the past & present (Roy Campbell, Sabir Mateen, William Parker & Charles Water). Both Daniel Carter & Andrew Barker have spent countless years honing their craft, together and individually...two true masters getting intensely deep within this tape. Play loud!

The energy contained within each of these tracks was just what I was looking for although I couldn’t possibly have known that until I found it! Exhilarating, exciting and enthralling! Jimmy Wunts

I don't just love this album, its almost certainly in my Top 10 albums of all time (like those other 200 or so corkers lol) but this is splendid. Free jazz jams slowly coalescing into the heaviest grooves this side of the Sunn(()), just mind-blowing head candy. Wish I owned the cassette!! :( Monkton Wylde
