"Step Forward And Be" revolves around an intriguing set of evocative texts by A. Molotkov and S.B. Reda.  Taken from several books by the artists, they present a number of literary innovations and challenge the listener to employ their brain to its full capacity.  The text is  accompanied by energetic jazz improvisations by Rodney Haley (saxophone), Scott Mayfield (keyboards), and Byron Rynes (guitar).  Musical participation: Pamela Zero.  This album never lets you go as it swings between extreme sonic and textual discord and the opposite thereof, whatever such opposite may be. 

A. Molotkov and S.B. Reda also recorded a bonus track, Déjà vu Premonition, featuring S.B. Reda on guitar/bansuri and A. Molotkov on doumbek/tabla/bell/finger cymbals - and text based on the preliminary ideas for their upcoming novel "A. Molotkov and S.B. Reda meet Zabda Rect in the Hierarchy of Evil".
