SUI - JULY 2003
The 6 original live tracks were recorded
in front of 30 friends (and later mixed) at Sui Studios, Cape Town on
08/02/02 by Dirk Hugo assisted by Ramon da Silva. The set was completely
improvised, and is presented as it happened with only a couple of small
edits on tracks 5 and 6.

Benguela: Sui (Open Record) – 9
"The latest from these capetonian rhythm rebels is a humdinger,
a smorgasbord of beats, riffs, intense grooves, melodic signatures and
musical textures, all carefully captured on one of the most atmospheric
albums of the year." - Craig
Canavan (27 Aug 03 Pretoria News)
"The improvised, six-song set
of the first cd is prime Benguela: Atmospheric, sometimes creepy textures
combined with inventive, serpentine rhythms in an ever-shifting miasma
of sound that flirts with rock, jazz, and uneasy ambience".
- James Garner (Sep 03 Big Issue)
