"State of No Return may be a familiar blast of bass-heavy sludge, but the rest of the album is a hugely seductive mix of droning strings, tablas, chants and melodies (both eastern and western) woven together in a hazy melange of rock at its most languorous. By the time the 10-minute closer Haqq al-Yaqin creeps up on you, you could easily be lying on a chaise longue, smoking opium with a decadent, orientalist earl as he plays you his private-press prog records. Yes, it's really that good".

"The results are strange, hypnotic and utterly transcendental, capable of being linked spiritually - if not stylistically - with other fringe-dwelling artists like Earth, Arbouretum and Daniel Higgs. Lyrical themes are so oblique and obtuse as to be largely impenetrable - exactly what Cisneros is on about is, frankly, anyone's guess.But it should be said that this isn't necessarily a bad thing".
