select reviews:
The Z Gun:
Gang Wizard deals with traditional rock instrument-generated
noise. The tracks here balance between compositions and songs. At
their best, Gang Wizard finds a riff inside the chaos and work
it. The riff usual comes in the form of a throb or a squeal,
though on Cattle Car Tippage it manifests itself in a meditative
chant. The moments when the band really locks in are the best.
Emerged in the riff they become like starved animals feasting on
fresh road kill. That verve comes about on three out of four of
Atlass songs and in about 50% of those songs. Good thing,
because it makes listening to the process of discovery pay off.
One composition (The Sky Elephant) is a formless generation of
notes and noise which was probably a lot of fun to make but could
have been any band anywhere at any moment in the last 30 years of
underground music. Scott Soriano
