"Euphoric debut album by Kinshasa collective who use home-made instruments to add street-party energy and punk attitude to their hybrid sound".

"KOKOKO!, as a collective, have taken the soundscapes and beats of French collaborator Debruit and moved on that cyclical journey of Fela with James Brown and the Wailers with '60s American R&B into the new millennium, making as fresh and primitive a noise as you could possibly imagine".

"Top of the world" - "The most exciting thing about this Kinshasa collective is the extraordinary alchemy by which they turn pure building blocks of harsh, dissonant noise into compelling 21st century music. Like their famous Congolese predecessors, Konono No 1, they cobble their instruments together from old junk - everything from plastic bottles to a toaster - and their French producer and synth operator Débruit incorporates electronica that evokes the best 1970s Krautrock while aurally cementing the whole thing together".
