On No Comprendo, German-born club maven Khan composed the music, then asked his favorite vocalists to write the melodies and lyrics. The result is an album that lacks a cohesive sound, but is a compelling listen because of its wide spectrum of styles and sounds. The title is supposedly an allusion to being a tourist and feeling out of sync in a strange land and the music remains faithful to that central idea. Through the distinct vocal stylings of Francoise Cactus, Jon Spencer, Diamanda Galas, and the ethereal Julee Cruise, Khan creates a bizarre travelogue of cultures, ideas, and noises. ~ Steve Kurutz

Professional Reviews

Magnet (6-7/01, p.94) - "...Khan gives his guest ample space to work the room above his jolting, jittering brand of techno scamboogery..." NME (5/5/01, p.39) - 7 out of 10 - "...A studied excercise in left-field sleaze....More a surf-electronica set piece than a modern pop record....Cool tunes, mind."

The Wire (5/01, p.58) - "...Playing rock and blues formulas uncomfortably against programmed beats....he uses simplistic sequencer patterns to back up a variety of guest vocalists; all the crucial rock signifiers are encoded synthetically in the structure..."

CMJ (6/11/01, p.12) - "...Singers from around the world enter his lab to offer a smaple of their respective mojos to mix into his concoction of downtempo and industrial dance..."
