Bill Laswell, released on September 14, 1999, by Wicklow.
Critical reception
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]
