Now down to the duo of Ian Ballamy and Thomas Strønen, Food looks to be more active than ever. This, their fifth album, was recorded by Jeremy Cox over a period of two years and mixed by Ashley Slater, who also contributes on three tracks. Maria Kannegaard plays Fender Rhodes on five tracks. Strønen was always an important writer in Food and it´s fair to say that a good amount of their earlier output was written as opposed to improvised. Molecular Gastronomy, however, is mostly improvised, much in the same way as the music of Strønen´s other duo Humcrush. Considered to be one of the most inventive Norwegian drummers, he is here closer in approach to what he´s doing in Humcrush. Rune Grammofone. 2007.
