“...if (Miles) Davis were alive today he'd be digging the jazz blender fusion generated by Acme Rocket Quartet... This Davis, California, sound factory meshes styles as diverse as lounge, surf music, cool jazz and cheesy B-movie soundtracks into something amazingly fresh rooted in a West Coast jazz tradition.”

“Acme Rocket Quartet possesses none of the faux sophistication of the lounge scene; instead, the band plays subtle music that is stark in its beauty and refined in its tone.”

“The name doesn't really do this band justice; unlike the inspired, manic schemes of Wile E. Coyote, these four are in complete control of their tools. Some of these tunes meander precariously, in the manner of recent material be the Sea And Cake, but no crashing into mesas here... I wish there were movies to go along with ARQ's scores. They'd be terrible, and I'd watch them over and over.”
