"If more producers doing ambient breakbeat (Sasha, for example) lived in sun-kissed San Francisco and jammed regularly with live musicians they might sound like this. But they don't, which means General Fuzz still has this sound all to himself. Messy's Place sounds surprisingly organic despite the drum machines. He builds his elastic, funky grooves with a mixture of programming, composition and improvised jamming, the drum patterns usually being fattened with the rapid patter of Indian tabla. Thrown into the mix in various combinations is synth, guitar, bass, trumpet, Hammond, strings, various pianos and some sensual female ooh-ing and ah-ing. Cool Aberrations is sunny and tuneful throughout and, whatever the tempo, these soft-edged grooves remain swathed in the composer's trademark California glow." —Ambientmusicguide.com
