Plux Quba flew far under the radar at the time of its release, and it might have remained essentially unheard outside Portugal's experimental music crowd had it not fallen into the hands of a few key people, including tireless Chicago musician Jim O'Rourke. A story circulated that O'Rourke, Jan St. Werner (of Mouse on Mars and Microstoria), and Carsten Schulz (who has recorded as C-Schulz, and with Hans-Juergen Schunk as C-Schulz & Hajsch) came across a copy of Plux Quba while traveling through Europe together in 1991 and fell in love with what they heard. O'Rourke started a record label called Moikai in 1998, and his first release was a reissue of Plux Quba, remixed and remastered by Portuguese guitarist and composer Rafael Toral.

Esta música projecta-me nos livros de Philip K. Dick que eu nunca li. Fluxo de correntes frias e fortes, quentes e frágeis, que se interceptam num curso comum. Falta saber em quais, de entre elas, os sentimentos provêm das máquinas ou dos homens. Nuno Canavarro chegou um dia a ser o Hans-Joachim Roedelius português. Pergunto-me o que é feito dele?
