"If Edge City still gives some
people the creeps,
it is partially because it confounds expectations." - J. Garreau

Kosmischstrasse The second volume in Edge City Collective's triology, Kosmischstrasse finds the collective greatly expanded both in numbers and musically. The music has a level of sophistication about it that is rarely heard in improvisation without any loss of either spontenaity or intense passion for the sonic language. "The Kosmischstrasse is a mythical post-industrial highway, a nearly invisible trade route for ideas along the underbelly of a culture of conformity. Enjoy the ride." -- Scott Schaffer, from the liner notes Highly recommended. "an eclectic, creative, improvisational product...of course calling it a product is exactly what the artists are set against...nuanced, melodius...avant garde, experimental...the melding of genres and instruments comes off well." -- Armand Canales, The Critical Review Kosmischstrasse...brings the Collective from six players to 11, significantly broadening not only the possibilities but the results." -- Philadelphia Weekly "Edge City Collective is a remarkable confederacy of quiet grace, swinging jazz and musical invention. They are unclassifiable-and happily so... this is just the beginning of far-reaching recognition of Philadelphia's burgeoning avant-garde scene." -- Philadelphia Weekly 23 tracks in 68:47 minutes.
