Reception

Writing in The Boston Phoenix, Howard Litwak said that on Memory Serves, "Material intersperses its potent riffs and explosive electric power with interludes of noise, musique concrete, and unaccompanied synthesizer blats. Overlaid on this foot-stomping sound — the rhythm section of bassist Bill Laswell and drummers Michael Beinhorn and Fred Maher wants to kick your speakers out — is a collection of first-rate jazzmen (Henry Threadgill, Olu Dara, George Lewis, Billy Bang, and Sharrock) who are willing to interpret Material’s music on its own terms."
