"A second album, Janus, is more varied and virtuosic, with saxophonist Mattias Carlson much more prominent. But this debut stakes guitarist Nilsson's conceptual claim to the mother of all arteries and its pulse of life. Bass and drums thrash as in dozens of Scandinavian post-punk fusion bands, only the fretwork here is something else-fond of powerchords, but able to pick around them when he wants, with the sax adding menacing overtone to the flash and finesse." -Tom Hull
