Whereas previous albums like ‘Vespertine’ were real growers, some people may lose…Medúlla has some high pointsand it never gets boring, but it still left me feeling rather confused. It was recorded in 18 different locationsand you can tell – the end product feels disjointed and at times claustrophobic. […]
The Guardian
Medulla is playful and hymnal, sometimes surprisingly violent, often sombre but always full of awe. It’s fitting that Robert Wyatt, who also seems to float above conventional ideas about music, should lend to it his fragile coo. […]
