This release features Adjustable Wrench, a sample of which is often used as a "bumper" between NPR's featured programs. "There is a brilliant manipulation of rhythm, highly sprung so that the music barely touches the ground, and an assertive, dazzling white-smiled confidence about the writing that's as devastating as it is attractive. You come out of it enfeebled by it's vigor, feeling like the thin, pale torso on a beach of Californian lifeguards. At least, I did." The Independent, London [Monday and Tuesday] " The constructions are so tautly intricate that your ear can fasten upon different strands each time around, and discover a new perspective for the whole piece." Financial Times [Adjustable Wrench] "The musical mood is not far from Leonard Bernstein's joyful Fancy Free. In fact, Torke may turn out to be the true heir to Bernstein's populist throne rather than America's answer to Michael Nyman. Torke's is certainly music to confound snobs and give immense pleasure." BBS Music Magazine [Overnight Mail] "There are stretches of great beauty and expression in... "Standard" (the second movement), with it's moving melodies and supple orchestration." American Record Guide [Overnight Mail]
