«Another interesting release by Miguel Cabral, this particular one is centred around a biscuit metal box fitted with a neck and two strings, resulting in a sort of amplified primordial banjo. Through his studio effects Miguel shows a variety of approaches to this strange instrument: detuning up to the lowest range, arpeggio, pizzicato, radical transformation of sound to the point of total non-entity. Cabral works his personal way to improvising and composing in a record not easy to define; I detect a basic passion in this man's vision that's much more appreciable in these times of undeserved credits to hollow last-hour participants.»
«(...) I didn't look at the cover for a while, when this CD was playing, and I thought they were guitars improvisations. That's jolly good to know, since I wouldn't expect this to be a tin can with two strings and effects. More like an all spaced out heavy electric guitar jam. Crazy stuff for some forty minutes, but since it's chopped into eleven tracks, which sound like a quite varied bunch, this is actually much nicer than I anticipated.»
