"[...]Since each of the 19 pieces is a duo, Tungu gives his guests a chance to stretch out, often quietly, the combination often restrained yet mysterious. Starting out with experimental vocalist Sainko Namchylak, we hear her whispered voice surrounded by eerie electronics, subtle yet effective. It sounds like Tungu had each musician send him a short solo piece which he added to with acoustic bass, samples, field recordings or voice. Tungu obviously listened closely to add sounds which enhance whatever was recorded first. Since the pieces are relatively short, every duo sounds focused and complete with a flow of electronics or samples which seem to bridge the entire long disc.

Although I know about half of the musicians or vocalists here, each one has their own career/music path which can be viewed on Discogs. Originally I was going to list the highlights heard here but as I listen every piece is interesting whether I know of the player or not. I will mention one highlight though since it did knock me out and I put it on repeat for several listened. Pedal steel guitarist Susan Alcorn remains one of my musicians ever and here her distinctive steel guitar is framed with a gauze of haunting sounds and perhaps a ringing alarm in the distance. Essential! I listened to this entire disc in two sittings and considering that the disc is around 70 minutes long, I was thoroughly enchanted throughout." - Bruce Lee Gallanter
