Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars, stating: "Braxton (who performs on alto, soprano, sopranino and clarinet) and Roach continually inspire each other, which is probably why they would record a second set the following year. Stimulating avant-garde music."[2]

Personnel

gollark: I mean, there are other better tools but I forgot them.
gollark: Any HTTP one, probably?
gollark: It might decode DFPWM.
gollark: I don't know how it works in new versions beyond that they let you feed raw PCM to the speaker.
gollark: As an efficient person, my inventory is just my atomic disassembler, beheading sword (cleaver), remote interfaces to my storage, staff of travelling, wrench, akashic tome (unified documentation book thing for mods), flux capacitor, Psi CAD, mining laser, mana tablet, teleporter, and random trash I forgot to stick in storage.
