Reception

The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 4½ stars and stated "If Love Bug skirted the edges of free jazz and black power, Blue Mode embraces soul-jazz and Memphis funk in no uncertain terms... they know how to work a groove, and that's what makes Blue Mode a winner".[4]

Personnel

gollark: They can't kill me because that would be mean.
gollark: Anyway, we hit *those* limits ages ago, so we achieve our high clocks by extending the processors out into arbitrarily many orthogonal dimensions, ignoring the "speed of light", and patterning the logic gates directly onto underlying physical laws.

gollark: Clock speeds are constrained mostly by CMOS processes as far as I know, lightspeed issues are secondary.
gollark: What? Superconducting logic circuits can easily hit tens of GHz.
