"Genesis P. Orridge, the man who brought you, LITERALLY, Industrial Music and Acid House (etc!) has transformed yet again into a delicate storyteller. He strips all previous musical genres away and sits quietly with his cup of tea and issues his thoughts and stories in a rather precious way. Bryin Dall, the man who brought you Loretta's Doll and 4th Sign of The Apocalypse (On World Serpent) provides equally delicate textures to Gen's stories with his unusual and fascinating guitar work.This album is a departure from any previous Genesis P. Orridge product. His process this time is simplicity. And what a statement it makes. The production is crystal clear, and stands out in the Genesis P. Orridge catalog."
Bifurcate and Radiate

"One of the things that I love about this CD is that it makes me feel unafraid of my own suspicions about life. Genesis P-Orridge, in any context, always provokes the listener into participation and experience, blurring distress and a sense of wonder. It's all here too but focused anew. Like the closing "I Don't Remember His Name." You feel delirious at the end and what you get is a kind of transcendence in forgetting. This one has been positive for me on so many levels. The simultaneous burning and building of bridges.This disc is like medicine but it's not "medicinal" Gen the Exile who should be the Treasure keeps us awake and I'm grateful. .... .... Very refreshing and mangled sounds coming from Bryin Dall contextualise Gen perfectly, like a ghost or a shadow, swirling inside the words. Thee words. Plonk this disc in the machine and tune in to the colors of your childhood, your birth, your death, your present. Don't want to give it all away because the secret is in the anticipation, the perfumed promise. Expect to bifurcate and radiate. Expect to (r)evolve."
