»Kocher's squeezebox and Doneda's squeaks work together with near telepathic precision, while Grom's growls and Sambolec's grainy drizzle add depth and drama. Filling up what would otherwise be a rather short album, Giuseppe Ielasi's remix "Konstrukt" takes recordings the quartet made at Radio Študent in Ljubljana and rounds off the rough edges, looping and scattering the bassist's woody thuds across the stereo space and layering Doneda's pants and Kocher's drones into a nine minute coda, impressive but less colorful than the live tracks.« (Dan Warburton, The Wire, February 2012)


Udarnik was recorded on festival daNes in Maribor (December 2010)
*Konstrukt is entirely made out of sound material recorded on Radio Študent in Ljubljana (December 2010) by Michel Doneda, Jonas Kocher, Tao G. Vrhovec Sambolec and Tomaž Grom
