    This is fierce, uncompromising music. [May 2017, p.47]

    For all the collaboration, and the interweaving of roots and modern, Ayisoba's relentless kologo, and sheer force of character, gifts the album its irresistible drive and fierceness. [May 2017, p.32]

    More a growler than a singer, Ayisoba plugs in and lets rip from the start, his heavily rhythmic songs wasting no time on subtlety, his band driving the trance sounds home. [Jul 2017, p.91]

    It’s wonderful stuff, centred on Ayisoba’s signature instrument, a two-stringed lute-type contraption called a kologo. Obviously limited in its sonic scope, our dude provides rhythm and melody lines alike to hypnotic and strangely groovy effect.

    The album is most remarkable for the intensity and urgency in Ayisoba’s thrilling and insistent harsh-edged vocals.
