Durkin's ear for catchy, peppy tunes, and his ability to spread them among his web of musical voices, has an Ellingtonian touch to it -- the sense of a music flowing upward and outward from its sources, changing as it goes, but never losing the feel of its origins. In addition to Duke, Durkin also counts Frank Zappa and Charles Mingus among his inspirations. With the achievements of this second Industrial Jazz Group album, it's possible to imagine composers citing Durkin as an influence someday.
