 Ribot is essentially uncategorizable: loved by folk/rock singer-songwriters (ask Waits or Capossela for clarification), a brilliant interpreter of the Aylerian free-jazz movement, sly and melancholic in Cuban music, raw and aggressive in his noise-punk forays.

 I wonder if there is a musical genre where he doesn't feel at ease, as he truly ranges from avant-garde, to surf rock, to jazz, to classical (and actually none of these genres alone, because there's always a certain degree of contamination when he plays).

 An immense album, unique in Marc's discography and also for this reason worth rediscovering. Five historical and indisputable stars.

 I would recommend purchasing the album to all those who, although making avant-garde sonic choices, tend to prefer full-bodied and robust sounds, also because they will find plenty of them here!
