It's like a vanguard nursery rhyme ditty played by drunk men. Brötzmann's title piece is a scant four minutes, but it's a fun four minutes. It becomes a full-blown improvising section to that point until some semblance of silence registers itself between the three with moaning by Mangelsdorff to carry it out and back with all three shouting like there is no tomorrow through their instruments. This becomes a full-fledged drum solo until about 3:22, when the trombonist enters with a smattering of notes that are rooted in blues phrasing, and continued as a duet until 7:10 or so when Brötzmann kicks back in wailing and shouting through the horn before Mangelsdorff reenters at about 7:50 or so. "Wie du Mir, So Ich Dir Noch Lange Nicht," begins withy a long, quiet cymbal whisper by Sommer that begins to pop and groove after a minute or so, rhythmically moving in a single direction: toward swinging. This is most evident on the opening piece, "Instant Tears," where the saxophonist gets his way often, but he's made to work for it instead of just playing louder than anybody else. He even feeds off of some of Mangelsdorff's melodic lines to move his harsh blowing somewhere else. As Brötzmann blows his guts out, he gets reined in over and again by the repetitive phrases, short lines and fills of the trombonist. Of course, this is a blowing session that took place at a German Jazzfest and those contrasts work here to the betterment of the music. There is an interesting contrast of styles here, given the formalist tradition Mangelsdorff came from and the staunch vanguardism of Brötzmann and Sommer.
