Jordan Carroll Such a masterful demonstration of a niche instrument. What an accomplishment. RIP Hans Reichel. Favorite track: Give me money.

raeaw Please, do as my favourite track bids you to. Although Hans Reichel is sadly passed away, this album is still a very nice use of the Daxophone. Remarkably developed technique considering the instrument had existed for only ~10 years. Favorite track: Give me money.

REVIEWS

"...a crowning achievement for the German guitarist, luthier, improviser: stylistically varied, sonically outrageous.... Melodies range from solemn to funny with everything in between, sometimes conveying a mysterious sense of beauty." -- Rubberneck

"These overdubbed pieces played on numerous daxes – different shapes, different woods, different tone qualities – are extraordinary. Reichel coaxes out an uncanny range of inherently delightful, mostly vocal sounds: opera singing, baby talk, the Chipmunks, Curly Howard, calliope, theremin, Ornette’s violin. The sound is beautiful even when the rhythms and timbres get zany, not least because Reichel’s petrified fiddle brings out an unexpected blues strain, something universally touching." -- Kevin Whitehead, Pulse!

"In Reichel's post-guitar universe, melodic invention, harmonic construction, and modal exploration are merely elements for composition. This is a brilliant elucidation of the ideas of the most soulful cat in the entire avant-garde: listen, and be delighted." -- All Music Guide
