A subset of the UK saxophone heavy band crossing composition with improvisation, The Remote Viewers is led by David Petts, for two decades releasing albums in a variety of configurations. Here the band is presented as a trio with Adrian Northover on alto sax, David Petts on tenor sax, and John Edwards on acoustic bass. This trio is also a working configuration, having performed live material from previous albums, and now highlighted in their own album. 15 new compositions grace the album, 10 penned by Petts and 5 collective improvisations from the trio. A mix of ferocious timbre, impressive synchronized playing, and exciting interaction, having worked together over several albums the interplay is extraordinarily precise and anticipatory, with a solid understanding and rendering of Pett's approach to composition.

The group appeared at festivals in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Moers, Leverkusen, Copenhagen. Around 1990, Edwards played his first gigs with London improvisers such as Roger Turner, Lol Coxhill, Maggie Nicols, Phil Minton. Between 1990 and 1995 Edwards was a member of three touring groups simultaneously: B-Shops For The Poor, The Honkies and GOD. During this period he also became an increasingly regular player on the London improvised music scene and performed his first solo gigs; he composed and performed music theatre with the bass and cello duo The Great Explorers, street-busked a lot and appeared at many more festivals in Germany, Estonia, France, Italy, Czech, etc. Since 1995 John Edwards has become a "mainstay" of the London scene, playing with just about everybody, an activity that has seen him clocking up between 150 and 200 gigs a year. He has become regular player with Evan Parker, in many groupings, and with Tony Bevan, Veryan Weston, and Elton Dean, often in collaboration with Mark Sanders on percussion. He has become a more frequent player on the European (and festival) scene, appearing at Taktlos, Ulrichsburg, Nickelsdorf, Budapest, New Zealand and in the USA. He continues to work on solo performances." ^ Hide Bio for John Edwards
