"The subtitle of the album is "solo improvisations with stereo DJ mixer". That says it all, more or less. The 70-minute duration is not a joke, either, for this is not your typical Toshi Nakamura or Sachiko M. No, Kwang privileges micro-drills, crackles, purrs, hums, buzzes, quirks and bleeps, handfuls of them copiously reproduced for the total length of the CD."-Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes
