Reviews:
- June 2001 Nephilius. (Norway)
….This is really something quite unique, samplers and tape loops with special sounds delivered through 7 long tracks. Some of the tracks are building themselves up to a real climax with an almost insane intensity. It’s hard to put a label tag to this music but I guess you could call it speed-ambience combined with some trance psychedelia.

….Electronica, Ambient, Breakbeat Post-modern synthesis combined with acres of culturally rich oundscapes and samples. African hymns, funky breaks, helicoptering echos….it’s all there.

…Vancouver’s M.C. Maguire deftly blends a slew of varying genres into somewhat cohesive musical formats very dense collages. Yet, the chaos begins to make sense on repeat listens and is rooted in rhythm.
- Mar 2000 Georgia Straight
….. Don’t file this under easy listening.But if you can afford the time (74 minutes) and the neighbours can stand the volume it demands, Back-Engineering a Cloned Hoola-Hoop rewards close attention. Spin- happy M.C. Maguire’s mix-master approach sometimes resembles the ’80’s electronica of Holger Czukay and Jah Wobble, especially since he is just as likely to borrow from African and Asiansources as from the usual rock’n’roll well. There’s definitely something Zappa in there, somewhere, and also a touch of Negitivland in the sheer density of the sampling and his propensity to chop it up in abrupt ways. But Maguire’s sense of form, which has him returning to hypnotically building beats and almost ethereal vocal choruses(even if there not made from ‘real’ vocals) finally stamps the project with an original, sometimes even transcendent vision. The disc is divided into seven long cuts, each bearing a faux-tableau title,such as “Russian Mob Extorts Asian Triad to Muscle Columbian Cartel to lean on Aliens to put Y2K jelly on my butt(sans anal-probe).org”. It’s not clear whether Maguire’s verbiage… is part of some grand joke, but the music itself is quite serious, without any hints at pompousness.
