“Featuring a cast of characters that includes Nils Petter Molvær, Hamid Drake, Amina Claudine Myers, Sly Dunbar, Aiyb Deng, Nicky Skopelitis, Graham Haynes, Karsh Kale, and vocalist Gigi Shibabbaw, this collaboration between bassists Bill Laswell and Jah Wobble is many things. From the dubby spirits evoked in “Subcode” and “Orion,” to the vocal wonders expressed amid heavily textured instrumentation by Gig on “Anselma Dub” and “Alam Dub,” to the wondrous effects these two layer together – like Skopelitis’ slide guitar amid bubbling echo and both basses playing half a beat apart on the same notes – this is a mind journey of an album that does, at its best, extend the time-space continuum.” - Thom Jurek, AllMusic
