    Three of the tracks pass the 13-minute mark, but not a second is wasted. [Aug. 2011, p. 100]

    The essence of the music might be simple but the band squeezes remarkable emotions from it. The new world order of psychedelia is here.

    They now sound more like a band that has really found its own voice. Recording live in the studio in as few takes as possible also seems to have given them a new edge.

    Simultaneously grounded and spiralling off into the stratosphere, this is urgent, epic stuff that doesn't let up for a moment.

    The result is furiously syncopated, no-holds-barred rock made marvellously strange by Camara's squawking fiddle and invocatory singing.

    This is a brilliantly ambitious, exploratory recording that captures the pure, powerful vibe of a great ensemble.

    There's some fine playing on this set, as on the exuberant 15-minute work-out Djanfa Moja, but the bass lines on Nightwalk or the bluesy Waide Nayde make the band sound unexpectedly predictable, despite Camara's remarkable solos; two of the best tracks are taken from the bass-free Trance Sessions

    The most pungent aroma rising from Juju's avant-jazz dub-trance grooves is that of a funkier Mahavishnu Orchestra.

    It's an intense, at times crazed live-in-studio session. [Aug 2011, p.104]
