“A wizardly alchemy of circuitous jamming and percussion-mad party power... Change Over Time takes their Afro-Cuban workouts to insane new heights.”
Doug Wallen - Philadelphia Weekly

“Sonic Liberation Front reject the motifs that have congealed into cliche, and come up with a music where intuitive rhythm and analytical intellect jostle each other and become one. ...ludicrously superb.”
Ben Watson - The WIRE UK–Adventures in modern music

Sonic Liberation Front is a band without peers. The amorphous Philadelphia unit has essentially created its own genre in its evolution as a band. Combining free jazz with Afro-Cuban percussion and modern electronics, Sonic Liberation Front has forged an incredible sound assemblage – one that has sailed to new levels on Change Over Time. While others simply talk of combining the ancient with the futuristic, SLF have done so. More than any other band on the scene today, SLF is continuing on the paths of Sun Ra, Albert Ayler, Ornette Coleman, and Art Ensemble of Chicago – new dimensions of folk art forms for tomorrow.
