In Meat Beat Manifesto's nearly twenty-year existence, what began as a collaboration with fellow Perennial Divide member Jonny Stephens quickly became a revolving door forum for t Jack Dangers' investigations into sonic possibilities and contemporary electronica rhythms. Meat Beat Manifesto has remained on the cutting edge of sound design. There are all kinds of ear candy to be found deep in the layers of every track, and yet there's an overriding ethereal quality that makes At the Center a softer cushion than Meat Beat Manifesto's earlier, harder-edged work. Even when the rhythm is dense and the harmonies dissonant, there's a certain smoothness of texture in this music that never jars or disturbs the flow, keeping things eminently approachable.
Meat Beat Manifesto, meanwhile, continued their audio terrorism with 99%, a 1990 album that added some jazzy rhythms to the collage of noise. That same year, Wax Trax! recycled the remaining tapes from the aborted first album and released them as Armed Audio Warfare. Dangers moved Meat Beat Manifesto to the Thirsty Ear label in 2005. His first release on the label, At the Center, became part of Thirsty Ear's Blue Series, a series of recordings that explored new avenues of jazz. Keyboardist Craig Taborn, Bad Plus drummer Dave King, and flutist Peter Gordon joined Dangers on the album, which was followed by the related Off-Centre EP.
