Record review in issue no. 114 (September 1988), “Disques” section, jazz, pages 74 and 75, four stars. In “Men’s Land” Goupil hears not a gathering around Portal but a “rather heterogeneous” line-up (Cinelu, DeJohnette, Jenny-Clark, Liebman, Pepl) inviting Portal to join them. He calls Portal’s composition “Pastor” superb but feels that Harry Pepl’s “chatter” breaks its intensity; DeJohnette and Liebman stand “beside” rather than “with” Portal on stage. The album is the recording of the concert at the Maison de la Culture d’Amiens; Goupil places it among Portal’s risky live recordings, as opposed to studio work such as “Turbulence”. Google Books showed the passage (collected volume nos. 112 to 117, p. 74) only as an unreadable image; the Médiathèque musicale de Paris photographed the pages on Tuesday, 20 October 2026.
