On Clusterfuck, Nilssen-Love used graphic notations. The 24-minute title piece pushes the Large Unit to urgent and ecstatic blowouts but this powerful sonic adventure is often punctuated by playful, or subtle and reflexive, improvised solos. Eventually, the Large Unit exhausts its whole energy in the explosive coda before letting Moberg and Keränen end this piece. Nilsson-Love, second drummer Andreas Wildhagen and percussionist Celio de Carvalho navigate “Bubbles” to even more intense and energetic courses, but, again, when Nilssen-Love begins to play on his gongs the mode shifts into more introspective and reserved. The last piece “Moodplay” plays with these powerful veins but varies the dynamics with a series of individual solos, from the most intense to the most delicate and abstract ones.
