Reception

edit

The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars stating "This is a startling record, literally unlike anything ever heard before. These players make wonderful use of space and dynamic, and the manner in which they interact is as one... This record may not be for everyone, but it is surprisingly accessible and has literally no new age connotations. This is music that may approximate the harmony of the spheres, but it does so from the ground—from the heart of the heart of the matter—up."[2]
