It was formed in 2006 when most of the original songs were written by the band's four members.[1] Headed by bassist Jeff Greene, the band's prime motivation lies in the furtherance and expansion of fusion jazz. The full line up of the band consists of Jeff Greene: acoustic and electric basses, samples, harmonium; Quin Kirchner: drums, cymbals, percussion, glockenspiel; Dave Miller: electric guitar, sound effects; Greg Ward: alto sax.[2][4] They have toured extensively across five continents, including North America, Asia, Europe, Africa, and South America.[2] The band's compositions, which included free jazz and sound effects, have been commissioned and performed by the International Contemporary Ensemble.[1] First studio albumblink. released their first studio album, entitled The Epidemic of Ideas, on August 26, 2008.[2] According to data gathered by Chart, the album was played frequently on jazz radio stations in the United States from September to November 2008.[3][3][4][5][6] The album was the sixth most played jazz album on KSPC for the week of October 27, 2008,[7] and the eight most played on CFRU-FM for the week of October 7, 2008.[8] The Epidemic Of Ideas received the tenth most airplay of any jazz album on CJSW for the week ending October 6, 2008.[9] The album received positive reviews from music critics. Manny Theiner of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette gave the album a "Very good" 3.5/4 rating, and commented: "The Epidemic of Ideas is an appropriate title for Blink's debut CD, as the exploration of forms, textures and motifs is almost never-ending. Successful tracks range from jazz-funk-rock 'Secret Weapon Part I', where guitarist Dave Miller blisters the fretboard Marc Ribot-style, to the glitchy, laptoppy electronics permeating 'Sources', from the off-kilter, odd-timed Miller guitar runs and Quin Kircher's percussion clatter on 'Displacement', to the comparatively meditative, gamelan-like feel of 'Glass'."[10] Allmusic wrote in their review: "[The album] contains rather provocative investigations of vanguard jazz as it interacts with electronics, mutant funk, and even post-rock. Greene's compositions are rooted in space and edgy drama, and have wide-open spaces for various kinds of improvisations; rarely does one player occupy the solo space without another (or even two) engaging him directly."[2] The album also received positive reviews from All About Jazz[11] and The Phoenixs John Garelick, who gave the album a 3/4 rating and said, "Aside from the general aggressive, post-rock, post-jazz underground feel, there’s pretty tunes here, lots of slow, quiet parts, bebop flow, and even some walking bass. Another way to hear jazz."[12] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url={{Allmusic|class=artist|id=p1036616|pure_url=yes}}|title=blink.|publisher=Allmusic|accessdate=2009-06-30}} {{authority control}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url={{Allmusic|class=album|id=r1407784|pure_url=yes}}|title=The Epidemic of Ideas|publisher=Allmusic|accessdate=2009-06-30}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.chartattack.com/charts/10262008-jazzblues-top-10|title=Full Jazz/Blues Chart - October 25–31, 2008|work=Chart|accessdate=2009-06-30|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607163258/http://www.chartattack.com/charts/10262008-jazzblues-top-10|archivedate=2011-06-07|df=}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.chartattack.com/charts/10192008-jazzblues-top-10|title=Full Jazz/Blues Chart - October 19–25, 2008|work=Chart|accessdate=2009-06-30|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607163350/http://www.chartattack.com/charts/10192008-jazzblues-top-10|archivedate=2011-06-07|df=}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.chartattack.com/charts/10052008-jazzblues-top-10|title=Full Jazz/Blues Chart - October 04 - October 10, 2008|work=Chart|accessdate=2009-06-30|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607163459/http://www.chartattack.com/charts/10052008-jazzblues-top-10|archivedate=June 7, 2011|df=}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.chartattack.com/charts/09212008-jazzblues-top-10|title=Full Jazz/Blues Chart - September 20–26, 2008|work=Chart|accessdate=2009-06-30|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607163606/http://www.chartattack.com/charts/09212008-jazzblues-top-10|archivedate=2011-06-07|df=}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.kspc.org/charts/archives/2008/10272008.html|title=KSPC Charts For The Week Of October 27th, 2008|publisher=KSPC|accessdate=2009-06-30}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cfru.ca/charts.php?action=oldview&id=120|title=Charts - 2008-10-07|publisher=CFRU|accessdate=2009-06-30|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110706173041/http://www.cfru.ca/charts.php?action=oldview&id=120|archivedate=2011-07-06|df=}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cjsw.com/music/charts.html?chartID=47|title=Charts for week ending October 6, 2008|publisher=CJSW|accessdate=2009-06-30|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100215010032/http://www.cjsw.com/music/charts.html?chartID=47|archivedate=February 15, 2010|df=}} 10. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08297/922075-42.stm|title=For the Record: AC/DC, Blink, Mike Reed's Loose Assembly|last=Theiner|first=Manny|date=October 23, 2008|work=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette|accessdate=2009-06-30}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=30621|title=The Epidemic of Ideas|last=Horton|first=Lyn|publisher=All About Jazz|accessdate=2009-06-30}} 12. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://thephoenix.com/Boston/Music/69105-BLINK-THE-EPIDEMIC-OF-IDEAS/?rel=inf|title=The Epidemic of Ideas|last=Garelick|first=Jon|date=October 1, 2008 |work=The Phoenix|accessdate=2009-06-30}} 1 : American jazz ensembles |
