2007 - Autumn
Some reviews of Bootleg Epiphanies:
"The tracks are brilliant in sound and it makes a Class-A amplifier struggle: Impressively layered sound-collages and noisescapes. And it's all just a sample from "hundreds of hours of work and experiments". Something like the Merzbox or the TG24 would have been an idea also, though it remains to be seen whether all material is as magickal as these chosen few." (Gothtronic)
"Rajapinta doesn't opt for the true all out wall of noise, but rather make a sharp combination of floating samples, letting them bounce up and down the scale, thus creating quite a lively set of music. Plus it's not all noise that rings around here. They know how to pull back and put on a softer tune. Heavy duty musique concrete, turntable madness and enough computer plug ins to create a hard disk crash, it all kind of makes great sense here." (Vital Weekly)
"For sure some [tracks] sound as sound experiments in the vein of the Boyd Rice/Frank Tovey collaborations, but they haven't the rhythmical construction of Easy listening for the hard of hearing and for this reason they could sound as 'sounds on the wild'. Tracks like Ion flux or Streched qi do have some kind of structure even if they are experimental tunes but most of them sounds like rolling sound pebbles which form a torrent of sound." (Chain DLK)
