KFJC FM reviews the WMF -
WMF is a mysterious trio consisting of Dave Mazza, John Dalton, and Lou Per. In the spring of 2005 they recorded this CD called 'Lucky Seven' from “Live Improvisations with No Overdubs.” But don’t let the Germanic capitalization fool you. This is a CD with 13 spacey, but driving, psych-rock instrumentals.
---
It’s hard to believe that just three people (guitar, bass, and drums) can open up this large a psycho-acoustic space. At times the drumming and guitar work get complicated and then you have to concentrate on it, but usually you can just ride along with the music and let it invoke alpha waves.
---
The prolific WMF are currently working on their 16th cd release.
