Matthew Shipp

• DIGIPACK EDITION

• 4 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE

Like other Shipp albums, Sonic Fiction remains true to his vision—blues abstraction combined with elements of free music. The improvisationsare at times breathtaking. Explosive, dark, flowing, adventurous, and challenging, this is music that engages and at times explodes. Recommended.
