"For as much pain as he was apparently in, Touré's guitar work sounds untouched by illness. In fact, his playing on opener "Ruby"-- named by Touré for producer Nick Gold's young daughter-- is so supple and intuitive that he sounds like a much younger man as Diabaté joins him, surrounding his hypnotic figures with fluid runs on the kora. They brilliantly display their telepathic sympathy during on-the-spot improvisation "Fantasy", which finds Touré creating a series of anchoring phrases for Diabaté to leap off. On "Samba Geladio", you can begin to hear the ways in which Touré's music was a cousin of (but not derived from nor a direct source for) the blues as he pulls some ferocious phrases from his acoustic guitar." pitchfork.com
