Reception
The Allmusic review by Ron Wynn states: "A classic, with spicy and frenetic solos one moment, comic overtones and clever melodies and rhythms the next. The Art Ensemble at this point were becoming stars overseas, and finding the going increasingly tougher in America. It's outside or avant-garde jazz with soul, heart, and funk".[3]

gollark: HDDs probably lose magnetism over time.
gollark: According to Wikipedia, tin has 10 stable isotopes, so you could probably get it to one, um, dectet per atom that way.
gollark: It is probably also true that in both instances of "rebuild from practically nothing" you lose a lot, but in the eldræverse case that losing a lot would still put them substantially above us.
gollark: Anyway, in the middle of that graph you get complex interdependent highly globalised societies like ours, except with no convenient shortcut to bootstrapping your technology again.
gollark: I'm talking about maintaining technology level, not exactly the entire society.
