Reviews"...Papa M turns circular, melodically melancholic, acoustic and electric guitar riffs and arpeggios into a series of vast and contemplative...technical mantras....dazzling...", "...modern instrumental folk-rock...firmly guitar-based, involving minimalist repetitive patterns of a subtle, mesmerizing quality....Papa M slips into a range of different genres without being constrained by any of them.", "...blends simple folk and blues figures with electronica into a relaxed, hypnotic whole more akin...to a flotation tank than a shark cage.", 3 out of 5 - "...succeeds here because his playing sounds better when unaccompanied by electronic flourishes and 'post-rock' mumbo jumbo...", 8 out of 10 - "...Pajo's genetic fingerprints...cover this record, synthesizing forebears and descendants into timeless beauty. LIVE FROM A SHARK CAGE runs as deep as it runs free.", 3 stars out of 5 - "...Wreaking aural violence with nothing more than a few...casually strummed guitar riffs and some mournful melodies...luring the listner into a smothering world of plangent melancholy and haunting structures, with a delicate touch...", 8 out of 10 - "...his command of sonic architecture is more precise and delicate than ever....Papa M finds emlightenment in hypnosis and peace in subtle repetition, successfully panning for gold in them sine-wave hills.", "...acoustic and electronic instrumentals that sound terrific...when melded together seamlessly....a mature instrumental work....proving he has a gaze beyond the horizon...", 3 stars out of 5 - "...Dave Pajo is the most self-effacing and possibly the most talented...of all the Chicago avant-rock fraternity....antique drum machines and ethereal electronica creates a richly textured sound....quiet, considered and occasionally beautiful..."
