review in the guardian

a review in the september 2004 edition of the wire said (amongst other things): "...Listeners sprawl around a large room on carpets and sofas, all connected by headphone cables to the current performer, and all, praise the Lord, listening, in varying degrees of rapture or intensity. A projection on the wall tells that this 20 minute slot will finish in 617 seconds, while the next couple of acts are discreetly setting up. I enter, plug my headphones (you bring your own) into the matrix, and commandeer a deckchair. I'm basking in a golden spotlight, lulled by gently rolling breakers of processed electric guitar from Karina ESP and Cheap Machines. It's as good as being at the beach..."
