Not only was I too mesmerised to really care, but the band never dropped the performance. Not once was there a pause for someone to get a drink, to change guitar picks or to bore the audience with a lot of talking. It was as if some kind of rock ‘n’ roll perpetual motion drove the night.” – Carly Kocurek | 2001.02.26 |

"Our records are all about the three of us - we love music, all different kinds of music, and when we get together to play, that stuff seeps through.

In which New York's coolest export finally unearthed the real blues that he always aspired to. Snake-hipped and curled of lip, "Acme" brought a genre up to date by lavishing it with garage roughness and some touching melodies. Raw like sirloin and equally as juicy. Welcome them back..." | 1998.12.19 |
 | NME: On The Couch (PRESS, UK) "What song describes you best? "I don't know who it's by, but there's this song and its refrain goes, "Crazy mixed-up kid". If it came out at all it was probably in the '50s. It's a blues song. And also the theme from Star Trek. But not that new one." | 1998.12.05 |
 | Spin: Dial 'D' For Drum Machine [700 Word Article] (PRESS, US) TEXT: "Doing a record in this manner is ordinarily something I'd have no interest in, but I have a lot of respect for the way the Blues Explosion do things. My fundamental perspective is that if something sounds good and is representative of what the band is about, you need a pretty compelling reason to fuck around with it. Records I've recorded have been remixed by others, and the results are always unflattering." | 1998.12.00 |
 | CMJ New Music Monthly: Acme Blues Explosives, INC [1130 Words] (PRESS, US) TEXT: "The group recorded slowly, trying to involve lots of different people, to recapture the diverse feel of the Experimental Remixes EP that followed Orange. The trio recorded the basic tracks with Steve Albini (and a couple with Calvin Johnson at Dub Narcotic), figuring Albini's minimalist style would capture strong songs no remixer could completely ruin.
