"it's almost an album that makes you believe you could have made it yourself" - Walter Marcel

"(2) finds Dancers pasting more cut-outs into its highly personal audio scrapbook Three Hundred Songs. As usual, all natural musical decisions seem to have been eshewed: crudely produced "test" pieces are butted up against what sound like soundtracks for jazz films (jazz films about the Orient by humourless westerners? films about Dancers?), while ice-cold beats disrupt the brooding Herrmann-like arrangements of Qohv. On the other hand, anachronistic rock (The Miracle) finds oddly relevant complement in the electronic disjecta-bop of It's a Circus. Not since Scritti Politti has a band had the patience to plumb its music for such unlikely synergies or the deftness to tease them out. If the ep has a flaw – and, to my ears, it has many though few are glaring and most are integral – this reviewer finds one in the casual perfectionism of Astral Keepers and Cartoons. These tracks sound heinously pre-assembled, as if pre-collected in Precambrian bedpots and scarcely cut or kneaded thereafter; a little safe and, what's worse, distasteful. Pieces like Song Generator Test and the lead-off Elders, however, are surprising, acutely observed reconstructions of actual events and easily make a case for a full pardon. As do the laboriously workshopped tracks of the back 3rd: Chuck Press bears the evidence of heavy erasure and a very heavy ambivalence about spiritual tourism – delightful. Whatever your orient, Dancers has a track for you this summer. Like it's predecessor, part 2 is not for everybody. Those already collecting, though, will find much here to laugh at, discard, or ponder."- Dan Burke Vavra
