Jazz elements had been featured in occasional Meat Beat Manifesto songs over the years. But At The Center is the first outright jazz album in the Meat Beat Manifesto catalog, with bandleader Jack Dangers's collaborators being a trio of prominent jazz players. The album is mostly funky and fusion oriented, with a few abstract or free-jazz leaning songs. It's entirely instrumental apart from scattered vocal samples, notably on two songs featuring vintage recordings of poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti reading newspaper classified advertisements (the album's notes misidentify Ferlinghetti as Kenneth Rexroth). At the Center earned mostly positive reviews from critics of both jazz and electronic music, but Dangers opted to not continue his exploration of jazz on subsequent Meat Beat Manifesto albums."@en }
