"I love it when I listen to guitar music and don’t always understand how the sounds were made, as it spins my mind off into fantasies of invention. I similarly love listening to a composition which is clear and confident, but whose backstory, or meta-story is mysterious, and invites me into the composer’s mind. Musik for Seks Electriske Guitarer succeeds on both points. It is an exceptionally lucid journey through the sonic possibilities of the electric guitar, framed in a beautifully structured 38 minute composition. Proud sounds, sensitive fabrics, clear architectures… this generous music tosses new mysteries into a world that needs more of such beautiful things." - Nick Didkovsky, Aug 30, 2012, New York City
"Flipping brilliant (...)The piece was first performed at the Copenhagen Jazz Festival in 2010 and this live honing of the music has led to a very visceral set of tracks with howling climaxes that bring to mind Loop, early Spiritualized and Sonic Youth. (...) essentially it works so well because it succeeds in being all (cool) things to all (cool) people. It is at once a musicianly demonstration of multiple guitar techniques, a joyous ride through sunbursts of tuneful electronic guitar, placed somewhere between African high life, 20th century minimalism and avant rock and an exposition of a brilliant compositional mind at work."
"...the balancing act between academic nerdery and plain musical exitement is rarely performed better by any Danish musicians. A record which is at the same time infectious with it's playfulness and joy of playing and impressive with its overwhelming musical exuberance."✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶
"A highly inventive and playful journey into the mysterious sonic possibilities of the electric guitar. (...) These multi-layered compositions navigate playfully and methodically into their cathartic, noisy and chaotic codas."
"...modern guitar-based music in a constantly expanding field of possibilities from Anders Lauge Meldgaard and a magic circle of guitarists (...) One has the impression of a collective effort where the end sound is greatly influenced by the different personalities of the musicians and their equally different approaches to the instrument. Simultaneously one clearly senses the signature sound of Meldgaard in the bouncing and ecstatic eruptions, sure to delight fans of his "Frisk Frugt" project. Here the guitar is released from both clichés of rock and from blasé avant-garde strategies. What remains is a joyful toying with the field of possibilities of the electric guitar. This is how you cut a good guitar record."
"The long track "På cykel mod solen som et ekkolod II" finishes in ecstasy and is simply stunning. (...) The pieces are well played and super tight. They spread as much humor as they do earnestness."
