About

This prolific modern-jazz fusion ensemble put their chops to use on a riff-heavy set of originals, with instrumentals that move between funk-ready grooves (“Tarova”) and lighter-strutting swing (“Grown Folks”). There are experiments, such as “Beep Box,” which starts out as an ambient folk number—and then the synths enter. The album’s stylistic movement makes good on the title’s promise of voracious consumption; even if the band might be making a (snarky!) point about contemporary media absorption, their roving intelligence makes all this genre-hopping sound like the product of healthy minds.
