Mastering and Vocal Engineering
The Quietus included the album at #67 in its "Albums of the Year 2025" and included ‘Canaan Land’ feat. Dennis Bovell as their 5th top "Tracks of the Year 2025"
The Quietus' review writes: “Minnelli’s attention to the flow of an album is one of the many strengths of Clams As A Main Meal. Just when it feels like you have a measure of his sound palette, he throws in a sonic curveball to mix things up… there’s a huge amount of melodic charm, sonic invention and detail to keep listeners coming back for more.”
“Ever wondered what folk songs would be like re‑worked as dub plates then Elijah Minnelli has got you covered… Clams As A Main Meal totally appeals to my love of folk and dub music… Elijah Minnelli is to folk‑dub what Heston Blumenthal is to molecular gastronomy.” Joyzine
“Building on 2024's Perpetual Musket, the album includes vocal contributions from dub veteran Dennis Bovell and Welsh-language singer Carwyn Ellis, bringing an internecine sensibilty, where global percussions knock heads and reach huzzahing resolve through the art of the folk-dub rework."
