"Just as the presence of an acoustic instrument can heighten the otherworldliness ofelectronic sounds, so electronics may lend acoustic instruments a super-reality, as the blasting Australian light can do to trees and flowers. This is the effect on the marvellously titled 'In Bed We Trust' when Adrian Klumpes' piano cleaves a path through thickets of electronics generated by Shoeb Ahmad's guitar and by Klumpes himself.It is not a matter of sonic contrast, however. The piano melodies often unfurl with the stark beauty of time-lapse photography of a flower opening and they add a solid narrative to the mists and heat hazes of ephemeral electronic improvisations. Sometimes the piano is, itself, treated and becomes part of the Milky Way of sounds that seem to decorate silence rather than negate it. A Canberran, Ahmad proves an imaginative and empathetic collaborator for Klumpes, known for his work with Triosk and 3ofmillions. Fans of the Robert Fripp-Brian Eno duets will have much to enjoy."
