Reviews3.5 stars out of 5 -- "It's a big bold statement that trades the ensemble's signature guitar/vibes/snare sound for a swan dive into the synth end of the swimming pool.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "BEACONS OF ANCESTORSHIP's killer first track is an eight-minute, sour mash of bass-heavy synthesizer funk...", "BEACONS OF ANCESTORSHIP is a mature effort, mindful of the group's legacy while simultaneously pushing at their musical boundaries...", "BEACONS OF ANCESTORSHIP restlessly shifts from frenetic, bottom-heavy fuzz-rock to snoozy Weather Channel interludes to snarling, techno-tinged world music.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Tracks change direction fluidly and often incorporate unexpected sonic textures....A vivid, intelligent album by a singular band."

Additional InformationReveals a band that is just as fascinated with sound--and just as intrigued by its myriad possibilities--as they were when they debuted in 1993.
