This album could easily have been just a less-than-reverential pastiche of its source material, or worse, an ersatz tourist piece that reduced the original Congolese musicians to mere drum-banging curiosities. Mercifully, Peder Mannerfelt has used modern studio technology to reinterpret and expand their extraordinary sound, the result being a remarkably cohesive and dynamic record that demands all the attention you can give it. Brilliant. Nic Brown
Editions Mego x Sendai = «Purest Nectar». Yves de Mey + Peter van Hoesen... such a delicious mixture among the Edge of Experimental Electronics and the Thresholds of Techno! Highly recommended. Five stars. sjah83
