London Jazz News - Chris Parker (UK)

"With avowed influences including everyone from Mingus to Bartok, Soft Machine and Gong to Terje Rypdal, The Wrong Object are quintessential MoonJune artists, and After the Exhibition, with its rumbustious, uncompromising, full-on jazz-rock sound, could not reasonably be mistaken for the production of any other label. (...) Also on board for this recording are singer Susan Clynes (who adds an affecting vocal to the most overtly poppy track, ‘Glass Cubes’) and – accounting, courtesy of his judicious use of marimba and electronic vibes, for the album’s frequent and almost manically jaunty Zappaesqueness – Benoît Moerlen.
(...) At once strikingly various – driving Led Bib-like roaring is intelligently interspersed with hypnotic, spacy music, heavy riffs jostle against ringingly joyous climaxes and tear-it-up hurtles – and cleverly programmed (...)his is an unequivocally enjoyable album from a full-throttle band at the top of its game."
