"Drummer Garey Williams leads his Seattle-based group Ecstasy In Numbers through ten original tunes in their sophomore recording, The Search. Stylistically, the group might best be described as straight-eighth-note *melodic jazz-fusion* for guitar trio with Chick Corea and Weather Report influences. The tunes are memorable, harmonically interesting, and all three players excel at both soling and musical interaction.  The tunes run the gamet from syncopated funk to a waltz, ethereal fusion, down-home, Afro-Cuban and 7/4 Funk. The band- Williams (drums), Rick White (electric bass), Mike Mattingly (guitar)- make frequent use of unison ensemble figures, a jazz-fusion trademark. There is a comfortable feel to their playing, the result of many years of experience and working together.  Williams sounds like a combination of Vinnie Colaiuta and Peter Erskine through his careful attention to the orchestration of each section of the tune. His relaxed, flowing style suits the music, yet he is always pushing the other players to new heights."

"There is a lesson to be learned by listening to the solid and dynamic performances of this instrumental electric fusion trio. "Ears" is the key word here. Each player listens to and compliments the others in a tasteful and respectful manner. The arrangements sound tightly worked out, but not stiff and predictable. And the tones of each instrument are evenly matched and well-mixed for a rich and full sound.

Garey Williams displays a beautiful touch and emotion in his drumming. He performs with a strong technique and a keen sense of what to play in a studio situation to achieve the correct balance within a jazz/rock trio setting. His drums sound fat, wet, and well recorded. His cymbal work is very expressive, and the mix allows his drums to explode with power and intensity when necessary. The compositions move in and out of various grooves in an interesting and playful manner, but never lose their solid feel. Although each player possesses noteworthy chops, the listening experience is not drawn so much toward their improvisational talents as it is toward the musical interaction within the material's arrangements. There is not a standout track on the disc; they are all outstanding."
