 | | Ribot's "Invocation" opens the album and is exactly that - an invocation of the Ayler spirit. |  | | The album features one original by Ribot and four songs by Ayler. |  | | Spiritual Unity is a group formed by Marc Ribot dedicated to re-creating and re-imagining the music of the great saxophonist Albert Ayler, one of the pillars of modern jazz.To Ribot, playing Ayler's music is a "ritual process, through improvisation, of experiencing and presenting the rawest moment of musical creation." |

 | | Fans of Ribot’s Latin music may think the disc’s final cut, Ayler’s 'Witches and Devils,' is a more apt title for this riskier album. |  | | But rarely on the same album, and certainly never on one framed by the sound of acoustic guitar. |

 | | Named for Ribot's band of the time, Rootless Cosmopolitans (a description of Jews used by Joseph Goebbels and later appropriated for a poem by Allen Ginsberg) is a harder-edged version of the "fake jazz" he played with the Lizards, especially in his duets with clarinetist Don Byron, which have a distinctly Beefheartian air at times. |  | | While he continues to use a band onstage, Ribot's recent recordings have showcased his solo playing. |  | | Playing as if the solos of free jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler were transposed to guitar, Ribot calls his style Brutal Atavistic music. |

| | Only sounds Cuban / Guitar maestro Ribot plays as if he were there |
 | | Ribot stays true to the essence of Rodriguez's syncopated and melodically rich Afro-Cuban vibe, but he approaches the tunes with serrated rock, cool-pop noir and lyrical soul-jazz sensibilities. |  | | Ribot set out to rework tunes from Rodriguez's repertoire (his compositions as well as songs by Inacio Rios and others), developing arrangements in which the guitar takes the lead voice (instead of the Cuban son tradition of vocals and horns) and stripping big-band charts down to small group settings. |  | | With Waits, who once called Ribot "an innovator who believes in compulsory distortion, rude chords and gypsy phraseology," the guitarist fused together a mix of R&B, rock, Django Reinhardt and Cuban music. |

| | Greg Ribot & Cumbia del Norte: The International Conspiracy - PopMatters Music Review |
 | | But as is the case with the album on the whole, Marc Ribot steals the show with his wonderfully hesitant and jumping solo, dancing all over the neck of the guitar, wavering on the line between dissonance and harmony, order and chaos. |  | | Marc Ribot has brought his staccato, quirky electric style to many recordings over the course of his 20-year career, including Elvis Costello, the Lounge Lizards, and most famously, Tom Waits's bizarre Island albums of the 1980s, Swordfishtrombones, Rain Dogs, and Frank's Wild Years. |  | | While the band can be pulsating a loud, brash big band jazz over funky Latin rhythms on some tracks, on others the horns and electric guitars disappear and what is left is tame, plodding flute-based Latin music. |

 | | Chameleon NYC guitarist Marc Ribot, under yet another one of his many stylistic guises, refashions himself this time around as a cheeky Ricky Ricardo revivalist of Cuban big band/ cocktail- jazz music. |  | | Ribot's damaged R+B accompaniment on Tom Waits' Rain Dogs was a contribution arguably as essential to that album's clattering beauty as the input of Waits himself. |  | | Ribot's not only a master of many styles, but he's also managed to stumble upon a wholly original guitar vocabulary of his own. |

| | Marc Ribot y los Cubanos Postizos: Muy Divertido!: Pitchfork Review |
 | | Ribot has a tendency to lapse into his former role as John Zorn's sideman, turning the solo section on a song like "El Divorcio" into a noisy, abstract-expressionist shred-fest. |  | | Ribot initially formed this Postizos outfit to pay tribute to Arsenio Rodriguez, an unsung Afro-Cuban jazz pioneer whose essential contributions to Latin music were eclipsed by the more showy schmaltz of dance-crazy conga nuts like Mongo Santamaria, Ray Baretto and Desi Arnaz. |  | | In the end, the main problem with this record is that Ribot overdubs too many haphazard solos over these sonically humble songs. |

 | | And that's what Ribot mastered while playing with John Zorn, Don Byron, Elvis Costello, the Lounge Lizards and, most famously, Tom Waits on that trilogy of tone-terror, Frank's Wild Years, Rain Dogs and Big Time. |  | | Ribot brought that same skittering six-string madness to his own funk-filled ensembles Shrek, Cubanos and Rootless Cosmopolitans for a brand of roughshod soul and crispy-fried jazz licks that surely will come into play while jamming with algebraic bassist Tacuma and skin-slamming drummer Calvin Weston. |  | | That was before Ribot became the fretboard's icon of skronk, the scuffed and scratched guitar sound that's equal doses Robert Quine-like blasts of atonality, the no-wave jerkiness of Contortions' Pat Place and Jody Harris and the funky hump of blues-and-country-style picking indigenous to Southern juke joints. |
