"Norman Westberg made his name as Swans’ premier guitar sorcerer and has, on occasion, lent his talents to other outfits but it is only recently that he has channelled his energy into a run of solo records. Latest offerings, MRI (Room40) and The All Most Quiet (Hallow Ground), share Swans’ sense of ascendancy and, similarly, each rewards god-felling volume levels but that’s where the comparisons end. These two albums are just as gripping when allowed to tug, near-imperceptibly at the edge of one’s sonic surroundings. They conjure with minimalism, with ambience, with a sound hinted at, sometimes unleashed, but rarely given full rein the way it is here."
