    Press Reviews
    "We drove out in a van and filled the back with bottles of polish beer because that was all they sold at the first market we saw. The bottles were all shapes, colors, and sizes - a stained glass rainbow of polish beer. In a thick eastern European accent the girl at the register had asked me if i liked polish beer. I lied and smiled. I'm not sure i had ever had polish beer before and, if i had, it had not been memorable either. But the bottles in the back of the van rolled around and made a beautiful noise. As we would later find out, most of the beers we selected tasted like slightly alcoholic RC cola, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but not what we were looking for at the time. But, as i said, the bottles were beautiful, and added a perfect percussion to curtis mayfield's falsetto and scorching guitar that poured out of the speakers as we left the city and made the rainy afternoon Japanese hardcore." - from "My Travels with the Amsterdam Suite", Jacques Ferrier, Sept. 2002.
