"Beware the Fetish lacks some of the overstated grit and blown-out feel of other Congotronics releases, but by no means suffers from this distinction. Instead of just relying on hyper-saturated sounds and colors, the lengthy statements here strive for something deeper and less immediately understandable. The album rolls along with a meditative, confident feeling, morphing into a bright dream-like celebration in its many various peaks".

"There are some extraordinary moments, from the unaccompanied chanting and likembe workout on Thus Spoke the Ancestors to the suitably spooky and edgy title track. Several of the musicians took part in the Congotronics vs Rockers project three years ago, along with members of Konono No 1, their producer Vincent Kenis and singer Juana Molina, and the final track is a suitably frantic reminder of that tour. Play it very loud".

"Kasai Allstars spiller hypnotisk, de væver deres slagtøj sammen, som var hver musiker et pokkers groovy tandhjul i en saftig maskine skabt kun til at gøre os alle sammen øre og skøre i hver en muskel og led. Og det er frækt produceret. Der er en klar fornemmelse af at befinde sig midt i heksekedlen, men fra sang til sang i skiftende positioner. Nye elementer får sang for sang lov at stikke ud af mixet - såsom et let forvrænget, håndbygget likembe eller et boblende kor eller en skingrende solosanger eller en flaske, der bliver slået på med... er det et søm? Alt i mens gruppens rytmiske muskler spiller i mangefarvede formationer, der giver farve i kinderne og ild i lænderne på nye forunderlige måder. Beware The Fetish kan godt virke for tæt vævet og ufremkommelig til at begynde med, men giv det tid, og du vil blive besat af det sublime sammenspil og den konsekvente tro på groovet som den bedste medicin mod gråvejret uden for og inden i os".

"Their first album (...) twinned home-made science-fiction electronica with likembe thumb piano, powerful rhythms and the most beautiful choral and guitar effects. Sheets of magic sound, somewhat less raucous and at-your-throat than stablemates Konono No 1, drew us into a tingling forest echoing with static ... This new album, six years later, fifth in the Congotronics series, packs even more of a wallop than its predecessor ... If ever music was designed to hit multiple pleasure centres at once, this is it: the sheer cleverness of it all, the way the body blows match the beauty of the guitar, the dance and the trance, the unashamed repetitions, the scratchy bumblebee-trapped-in-a-bottle thing, the relentless conversation and declamation of the voices. And, crucially, the faithfulness to traditional time-tested forms. This is strange music that knows exactly what it's up to ... Got to love it".
