Julian Cope (Head Heritage): "Next up, for those of you with a yen for schoolroom performances from a War Zone, please lend yer lugholes a quick listen to the oft-ambulent/always excellent audio verité of AL XURVOT HaAVIV, the superb new album by Israeli quartet Quetev Meriri. there’s a radically beautiful DIY shabbiness pervading this wonderful record, a glorious intrusion of brutal technology and rudimentary school piano that makes AL XURVOT HaAVIV sound as though the Ur-ancestors were informing this band’s every step of the way. Which ur-Ancestors? Well, Quetev Meriri plough those same profoundly catchy & musically unmusical anarcho-refusenik grooves as Wümme-period Faust, early Magical Power Mako, L. Voag’s legendary THE WAY OUT, even poor old Michio Kadotani’s ROTTING TELEPATHIES gets a look in with this seemingly cassette-obsessed bunch. I pity these poor sods’ domestic situation, but it evidently don’t half make for glorious music. Yowzah!"
