(…) An altogether concentrated duet with an unconventional guitarist, Jim O ´Rourke. Though there´s no overdubbing involved, the pair at some times create textures and timbres reminiscent of the ´50s and ´60s electronic experimenters like Pierre Schaeffer, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and Morton Subotnick. O´Rourkes ´Just As A Wall Of Quiet Flowing Stands Near´ slowly unfolds as a György Ligeti score might; in general, their longer pieces tend towards such ´spacy´ atmospherics. The confusion of instrumental sounds (can those be guitars?) enriches the musical experience, as they fill in the textures with surprising percussives and organ-like sustains. (…)

(…) This CD really cooks. (Andrew Jones, in: Montreal Mirror)

(…) A welcome return to free improvising in the form of a guitar duo. Henry´s partner is Jim O ´Rourke, an astounding young player who has already mastered acoustic, electric and prepared guitar vocabulary ! The two met during the ´Company Week´, and so you do hear faint echoes of matchmaker Derek Bailey and Keith Rowe in their work. But by and large they leave the old world behind, heading off boldly into uncharted waters. A great set (recorded in just two hours of studio time!)
