XENOPHON has been around long enough for
review.
“Hypnotic, trancy beats that rise and fall with knowing intensity are
complemented by pulsing rhythms and beautifully controlled didg textures.
The album is deeply infused with low bass and dub sounds, but it’s the
unique indigenous instruments and excerpts of vocalising that imbue Xenophon
with such an unusual flavour. Understated brilliance. (4 stars)”
Lauren Zoric. Rolling Stone, September 1998
“Didjeridu maestro Charlie McMahon surprises the shit out of everyone
with an album that is one of the most accomplished electronica records
that this land has ever produced. Full of samples from Charlie’s
mouth, the songs structure themselves around ideas, motifs and moods; similar
to MassiveAttack, gusGus or even Tortoise in that regard. 9/10”
Geoff Towner. Revolver. 23 July 1998
