      Reception



      The Allmusic review awarded the album 4 stars out of 5, stating "As with 2014's High Risk, Dark Territory features live, in-studio performances Douglas has dubbed "electro-acoustic" jams. These primarily consist of computer- and synth-based soundscapes created by Shigeto that Douglas and his ensemble play along to. Shigeto then manipulates and interacts with the band and his soundscapes in real time, sculpting the proceedings. The result is a sound that falls somewhere in between experimental electronica and avant-garde jazz improvisation ... Ultimately, it's that visual and physical tangibility of Douglas and Shigeto's collaborations that makes Dark Territory such a heightened listening experience". They also selected it as one of their Favorite Jazz Albums of 2016.
      DownBeat said "Douglas and his group High Risk have created something original here. Dark Territory is addictive, and while it wears its influences—Miles Davis, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, David Bowie, hip-hop—on its daring, highly stylized sleeve, it’s also unique." On All About Jazz Mark F. Turner stated "Jazz purists will probably not change their minds about High Risk's new electronic playground but Dark Territory is certainly an interesting excursion". In JazzTimes, Steve Greenlee noted "The trumpeter looks forward and backward, grabbing from any genre he likes while pushing every boundary of jazz". Fred Kaplan in his review for Stereophile stated "...Dark Territory is a terrific album—dark, moody, virtuosic in a manner both combustible and streamlined".
