Notes

Notes:
Recorded between May and September 2001 in Cologne and Copenhagen.
Mastered at Dubplates&Mastering.
Cat.Nr. on back cover, CD and booklet is "non10", additional number on back cover is "NON 010".
Both numbers are wrong, the actual number of this release should have been "non09" or "NON 009".
That error was corrected in further editions (that were distributed by MDM when EFA folded).
Released in an unprinted six-panel white Digipak with right-mounted white tray. With a pocket for the 4 page booklet (outer pages are unprinted). Also included "noncard 1", a catalog postcard in the size of the booklet. Sealed with a long full colour sticker with release info that spreads from full front cover to 3/4 of the back cover. Has to be cut to open the cover.
Track positions feature explicitely a prefix 0 for the tracks 1 to 9.
The CD face credits as main artists "Friedman & Liebezeit"

Reviews
AllMusic Review by Joshua Glazer:

Germany's don of electronica-dub, Burnt Friedman joins with legendary Can drummer Jaki Liebezeit, constructing a Carribean-fixated album that digitally deconstructs the pair's jam sessions with Mouse on Mars cohort, guitarist Josef Suchy, and vibraphone professor Morten Gronvad. Smartly assembled in Friedman's G4, the worldly calypso beats become a montage of rhythms and movements, too advanced for even the most practiced of musicians to reproduce. "Gulli Verreisen" steers through interstellar improvisation, while "Royal Roost" struts along like a Jamaican private dick. Despite the intricacies, this music never veers too far from listening enjoyment. Especially Gronvad's vibes keep the sound well within the pleasure threshold. Much like the post-rock experiments of early Tortoise albums, but with substantially more virtuosity, this album could be analyzed to death, or merely become background music for your hipster coffee shop.
