"Bret and Dick Metcalf (aka Rotcod Zzaj) first met and began collaborating in 1988 in South Korea. This was one of the Duets I was especially looking forward to as he has a distinct keyboard sound that I was hot to hear teamed-up with the feedback, line-noise, percussion, Korean 'Puk' drums, and reeds that Bret is credited with. To accompany the Zzaj keys, Bret adds completely contrasting but beautifully complementary sounds. I love hearing such seemingly divergent sounds parallel and blend so naturally. "Another Flight Of Stares" takes this style a step further with Zzaj taking off on a more overtly free-jazz jam on piano while Bret creates a mini symphony of bangs and bells. If given a title I'd have called this album "Symphony For Alterna-Jazz Keyboards, Cosmic Tones, And Cool Bangin' Shit"." - J.Kranitz
