What the critics say now... "An instrumental album that reflects the man's Latin and psychedelic roots, as well as having one foot firmly on the dance floor. The multi-tracked Manzanera not only succeeds in his aim if 'making a guitar sound as unlike a guitar as possible' but manages to mesmerise as well." Pete Hogan Uncut "82's wholly instrumental Primitive Guitars is a collection of experiments in 'making a guitar sound as unlike a guitar as possible'. Surprisingly listenable and, on tracks such as 'Criollo' and 'Impossible Guitar', featuring elements of the Latin American influences successfully explored on subsequent albums. It offers clues to the origins of Manzanera's versatility." Valerie Potter Q "Primitive Guitars from 1982 is blessed with a range of styles and throbbing ethnic rhythms that are at once hypnotic and strangely disturbing." Chris Welch Classic Rock
