Notes

Notes:
Recorded 2000-2001 in Cologne and Copenhagen.
First version with catalog numbering mistakes:
under barcode: non10
on back cover and runouts: non011
It should have been non09
Some copies include a square postcard (noncard 1) with Friedman-Liebezeit photo & nonplace catalog on back side, listing from non 3 (Con Ritmo) to non 10 (Shaker Road). It has the size of a CD cover but it is different from the digipack's black & white gatefold insert.
D2 misspelled "Obsured by 5" on back and label.
Durations from CD version, matching 45 RPM playing speed (not mentioned on release).

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.
