[4] The record was released in his memory with a lamentation poem written by Ronnel, 'A Kaddish Over Death' The album's artwork was painted by the acclaimed Russian painter and novelist Maxim Kantor [1] Upon its release, the album gained critical acclaim with praises on publications including the Sunday Times Culture, The Times, Le Monde, Clash, Rolling Stone, Les Inrocks.
