I was too lazy to write a whole review of Callahan’s dub album by myself. So I was looking for a rather sceptical, but intelligent review which I then tried to reframe into a very positive one, taking the best bits of Joe Sweeney‘ writing, skipping the negative thngs, adding my thoughts, make it organic, like a living thing.
