'' Mojo '' magazine said '' Kaddish '' deploys a wide range of musical genres , and including minimalist ambient , metal , classical piano , string quartets and jazz , and called it " a sonic tapestry of thousands of years , lamenting what is lost in periods of great destruction . " Brian Eno said '' Kaddish '' drew on a mix of influences " existing on the cusp of art and commerce , a cusp we did not know previously to exist " . He believes " a piece of work should seduce you immediately , or should beat you over the head , which this one does . It 's very immediate , there 's no doubt it 's affecting you when you 're listening to it . " Eno described '' Kaddish '' as " the most frightening record I have ever heard " . In a Richard Wolfson obituary , '' The Daily Telegraph '' said that Towering Inferno was " one of the most original and provocative performance-art bands of the 1990s " , and described '' Kaddish '' as " a shocking and unforgettable piece " . In another Wolfson obituary , '' The Guardian '' called the work " a complex and disturbing meditation on the Shoah that makes Steve Reich 's '' Different Trains '' seem simplistic in comparison " . Richie Unterberger writing in AllMusic said that '' Kaddish '' , which " reflects the horrors and wounds of the Holocaust with subtle ( and largely wordless ) complexity " , is " not for everyone " , but added that " a dventurous listeners will find much to chew on for repeated listenings " . '' Sound on Sound '' said that '' Kaddish '' " not only satisfies on a musical level , but comes through with a sound of its own "
