Scramble liner notes by Howard Levy - “From the beginning of the first track of “SCRAMBLE”, Kick the Cat's new CD, you can tell that you are listening to a band guided by a deep musical intelligence. The combined compositional sense and playing ability of the four band members, plus the excellent recording quality, makes for a interesting and surprising musical journey from beginning to end.
