Adding insult to injury, sound levels were badly regulated—Hammond organ, an essential Wilco ingredient, was almost inaudible; the bass guitar was muddled and overpowering, and, more generally, instrumental separation was poor.

On Aretina, singer Rasoanaivo Hanitrarivo bemoans finding many Sulawesi people ashamed of their own music, preferring Western pop: "You can hear something different/But it is hidden and not played with pride...
