LP version. This album was recorded during Thollem McDonas's 2017 residency at Brooklyn-based multi-discipline mecca Pioneer Works. It's the second by Radical Empathy, which combines three uncategorizable improvisors. Michael Wimberly has been astonishing folks since his days in Charles Gayle bands and Steve Coleman & Five Elements in the early '90s, and has gone on become a composer and educator of note. Nels Cline has spent decades changing people's ideas about the role of the electric guitar in multiple contexts, ranging from Wilco to Anthony Braxton (think about that!) as well as many projects as a leader; this is his fourth album in trio with Thollem, and a fifth will follow in 2020, also on ESP-Disk. Some people have given ESP-Disk' flak (and "flak" was not the first word choice here) about putting out Thollem McDonas albums. "He's not in the jazz tradition, " they say, and even though their idea of the jazz tradition includes Albert Ayler; ESP-Disk' think that this album will make their little, closed minds explode. The heavy electronic sound of the first track, with it's swathes of distortion, put it very much in noise territory, with Wimberly contributing coloristic accents and heavier flurries of rhythmic activity. After the twenty uncompromising minutes of "Collective Tunnels", for "Conscious Tunnels" Cline switches to a guitar tone John Abercrombie wouldn't shy away from and Thollem sits down at an acoustic piano (for a while) - though their free improvisation is just as uncompromising. The timbres cease pacifying jazzers when blippy 1950s electronic sounds slinkily slither from the speakers. Then the piano comes back, but the guitar's tone gets dirty. Genre boundaries are crushed underfoot as the moods continue to vary wildly as "Conscious Tunnels" covers an amazing breadth of timbres and textures. Personnel: Thollem McDonas - keyboards; Nels Cline - electric guitars; Michael Wimberly - drums. Recorded by Justin Frye at Pioneer Works, Brooklyn, NY Sept. 13, 2017.

Versatile and easy to use
Color: Dark Grey, Size: 7 Seat, Color: Dark Grey, Size: 7 Seat
This couch was great for the price! Came in about 5 boxes with instructions in each box and the necessary parts for each piece in the corresponding box. It took my husband an afternoon to put it all together and he said it was very easy.
The back cushions attach by velcro which is great in some ways but in others not so much. Our cat likes to lay on the back of the couch and that has caused the cusion to indent and pull away from the velcro. We've only had the couch a week and that cushion is already not wanting to reform.
The pull out bed is very easy to use even with my back issues.
The storage is fantastic.
Every cushion comes off for easy washing.
Cushions are firm and comfy.
All in all 100% worth the money so far.

Favorite Couch Ever! 💗
Color: Dark Grey, Size: 7 Seat, Color: Dark Grey, Size: 7 Seat
This couch far exceeded my expectations. It was on sale for $750 when I purchased it which is a steal! The cushions are EXTREMELY soft and comfortable. Its appearance is very modern and saves up so much space! The height is perfect and it easily folds back to make it not like a day bed. Personally we leave it like this especially with a baby because it gives us a lot of room to stretch out and again SUPER COMFORTABLE. The fabric is phenomenal and very easy to clean! 10/10 definitely recommend! Would purchase again! The storage area is perfect for pillows and blankets as the ottoman can hold things as well as the chase WHICH can be accessed while the couch is in “day bed mode” as I say. Nothing but good things to report!

Nice couch for the price
Color: Black, Size: 7 Seat, Color: Black, Size: 7 Seat
Nice and firm I was able to put it up by myself in about three hours. It is really cute The material is soft. I really like it. It was super easy to put together. It came in 4 different boxes, I was worried because people said they got the boxes on different days luckily, I got the whole couch the same day and put together that night. I’m happy with this purchase. Can’t wait to sit on it and watch TV. I just wanna give it a few days to let the seat cushions recover.

Love the storage and pull-out
Color: Dark Grey, Size: 7 Seat, Color: Dark Grey, Size: 7 Seat
The size is great and fits nicely in the corner without feeling too bulky, but still has plenty of seating. The dark grey color looks clean in person and matches my space really well — not too light, not too dark.
The pull-out part is honestly one of my favorite features. It slides out pretty smoothly and turns into a big lounging area or bed. I’ve already used it to relax and watch TV and it’s really comfortable. The storage compartment is also bigger than I expected — I can fit blankets and a few extra things in there easily, which helps keep everything more organized.
Comfort-wise, I’d say it’s medium-firm. Not super soft like a cloud couch, but still comfortable enough for everyday use. The cushions seem to hold their shape pretty well so far.
Assembly took a bit of time and it’s easier with two people, but overall it wasn’t too complicated. Once it’s set up, it feels pretty sturdy.
If I had to nitpick, the cushions do shift a little after sitting for a while, so you may need to adjust them occasionally. But for the price, I think that’s pretty normal.

very nice for the money
Color: Dark Grey, Size: 5 Seat, Color: Dark Grey, Size: 5 Seat
Very comfy. The color is perfect. The back pillows do shift when leaning against them but a throw pillow or two helps comfort. The material is soft. And it was fairly easy to assemble with 2 people.
