"Body Loops contains Kinesthesia, the closest thing
to a hit ever written by Raeo and the most exciting four minutes
of the year that ends. As it has been said: monumental." (Oriol
Rossell - ROCK DE LUX).
"Their alchemichal combination of noise and melody
turns to be sometimes as magical and sometimes as ghostly, placing
itself in between of the isolationism and the free-jazz. And when
Mark's trumpet navigates among the noises' tangle, the effect is
a really fascinating one." (Luis Llés - EL PAIS de
las TENTACIONES).
"After almost five years of editorial silence,
Raeo, duet from Barcelona, comes back with a record that goes beyond
any kind of formal contention, to spread through ambient, funk and
jazz's fissures. An opus rich in textures and slippery forms. A
specimen unique on its species." (AJOBLANCO).
"Body Loops is a 40 minutes narrative voyage which
starts from the abstract matter and ends in the organic one, in
order to confirm itself as this year's best film. They write, they
direct and they perform: Raeo." (FACTORY).
"Raeo is a project that joins jazz on its most
free side with experimental electronic music to construct fascinating
sonorous landscapes. Their concerts introduce a splendid multi-media
show with impacting images projected over the musicians." (SEÑAS
- DIARIO ALTO ARAGÓN).
"Raeo is an acknowledged instrumental duet expert
in unforeseeable music and sounds free from the conventional canon.
Freedom, imagination and experimentation are the basic mainstays
where these sound investigators' music is based on." (David
Picó - AVUI).
"Their live music pokes again into the most hidden
hollows of that combination of industrial pop and milesdavisian
jazz of the late years." (Miquel Jurado - EL PAIS).
"Improvisation and spontaneity become some of
the identity signals of Raeo, whose sonorous universe has no limits
at all and stands out for its liberty to absorb any kind of influence
when trying to reinterpret and define acid-jazz." (L.
Castellanos - LA CRÓNICA DE LEÓN).
"The music has the same kind of frightening beauty
and fragility as a medical picture. Despite its melody, its seductive
rhythms and its flashes of humorous appropriation, there's a deep
sense of unease about Body Loops, not unlike that of Journey Through
a Body, the scariest of Throbbing Gristle's albums.../... Cunningham's
trumpet creates washes of searing emotion over the seductive rhythmic
tableaux. With repeated listens, the duo's painterly sense of composition
becomes more apparent in its interplay of melody and noise, and
its transitions from the dislocation of Motion And Rest to the mutant
rhythms of Atlas And Axis and the noirish jazz of Kinesthesia."
(Don Watson - WIRE)
