4 out of 5 stars A Progression Forward.......2003-01-08

More than any other member's solo project(s), this moves forward from where the band was when they split up, and shows where they might have gone to. It is the most interesting and successful such project along with Czukay's early solo work. It posits an obvious line of arguement that Michael had a lot to do with latter-day Can.

The music is African/Carribean inflected, with deep groove running through it, and more than a hint of abstraction (the kind of abstract, art-for-art's sake vibe that Can had been moving towards and that acolytes like Public Image Ltd. tapped into). It is simultaneously pleasant in tone, and disturbingly cold in nature.

5 out of 5 stars Favorite Can solo project.......2000-11-10

A fine CD. If Philip Welsh's review is still posted, it is much more knowledgeable than I could be about the contents of the disc. His Ubu comparison is both apt and unavoidable, but there's much more textural and rhythmic afoot, as well... Anyhow, this is my favorite Can solo project (of the six or seven I've heard) and the first I'd recommend.
