Critical reception [ edit ]
Noting the influence taken from Latin American music, AllMusic reviewer Rick Anderson wrote: "Imaginary Cuba finds [Laswell] taking an approach somewhat similar to the one he employed on his Off World One project -- building on a foundation of field recordings , he constructs complex and often dub -inflected sound collages that sound like no one but Laswell while still maintaining respect for the music's origins."[1]
