A brief run-down with the most recent reviews (more to come e.g. Uncut, The Word, Q etc):

5 star reviews e.g. Financial Times and www.LAsThePlace.com
4 star reviews e.g. Rock N Reel / R2 Magazine, World Music Network, www.allmusic.com (itunes), altsounds.com, fRoots etc

sturdy Ethiopian vocals are matched against backing that veers from wailing
psychedelic rock to trance, trip-hop and dub, it's an impressive achievement.
- The Guardian, Robin Denselow

'New rave goes global. The rave crowd may love such deranged energy.' - Uncut, Nigel Williamson

some of the albums tracks have a brooding intensity which make them as
compelling as anything Ive heard this year - Songlines, Howard Male

you can imagine this becoming a mind blowing rave classic, pushing the envelope
beyond Ethiopqiues nostalgia. - MOJO, David Hutchenson

there are moments of electrifying mystique - Fly Global, Tim Woodall

there's a pleasing headiness to its rough charm - The Independent, Andy Gill

a startlingly original combination of Ethiopian roots and pop with dub, electronica
and psychedelic rock - fRoots, Jamie Renton

this wonderfully strange and slightly otherworldly album refuses resolutely to be pigeon holed. One of the most startlingly original musical adventures of the year giving a whole new meaning to the term fusion music. - R2 / rock N Reel, Dave Haslam

like an exotic mythology flung into outer space - World Music Network, TJ Nelson

an unhinged sense that anything could happen, it grows with each listen - fRoots, Jamie Renton

'it's clear that Harper is led by his compassion. He's managed to illustrate the process of identification between an English sound and the music of this African nation. Ethiopia is generally considered the jumping off point of human migration. A starting line for mans expansion. With "Punt," Invisible System has managed to bring us all back home.' 'USA - 8/10 www.altsounds.com

Its an album that, to its credit, solidly defies easy description. It needs to be heard several times and each reveals a new delight - AllMusic.com, Chris Nickson

Each time you hear the songs, you hear something different as this will be the longevity of this world class fusion CD - LAsThePlace.com, Los Angeles

'The DIY feel of the arrangements suits the brooding other-wroldliness of the Ethiopian vocals far better than many more expensive productions.' - The Telegraph, Mark Hudson

'I encourage everyone to check it out, but not try to capture it..just feel it.' - Max Benkole Jarrett, BBC World Service

Brings together a fine mix of musicians to create a festive-sounding album recorded in Ethiopia New Internationalist
