"Packed full of in-the-pocket grooves, clever turns of harmony, and elegantly interwoven rhythms." - BASS PLAYER MAGAZINE..............
"The Band's newest release, Vessel, is lightyears beyond that first record, leaving one to wonder exactly what happened in the interim and what could happen next" - MUSICTODAY.COM..............
"...'musician' is a word and a concept that oozes from every bead of sweat the members of this Richmond quartet leave on stage. This greatly matured incarnation of Modern Groove Syndicate has produced a brilliant album [Vessel] that ranges in flavor from jazz to dub and from Mahavishnu Orchestra to Sesame Street while never losing touch with its foundations in the steamy funk of New Orleans." - JAMBANDS.COM
