“Appelqvist’s music infuses the debate on the musical qualities of music. The newness of his acoustic image, where the choice of sounds are not always evident or natural in there context, makes the listener react, certain musical nuances might generate strong emotions while others leaves the listener indifferent. The same is true for Appelqvist’s scheme of using untrained, hand-picked voices, a device which by many might be construed as provocative. It raises the question of whether we are actually listening to music and/or taking part in a staging. The crude voices are intimately interlinked through the underlying narrative and bring a dimension of agitation on top of the melancholy and suggestive coulisse of sound.

The musical imprint is made out of lucid harmonics and a largely straightforward structure created out of classical musical elements and accompanied by a simple, clear-cut theme. At the same time the arrangements form a tremendous patchwork quilt of various musical styles. The combination of arranged field-recordings and disharmonious voices together with the underlying theme of the album makes any effort of labelling the music futile. “
