Allmusic[4]

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek called it "a mixed bag" observing "the set is long on poetics and short on swinging or blowing aesthetics ... this is an experiment that, with the exception of one track, didn't work".[4]

Personnel

gollark: But you can already put basically arbitrary quantities of music on tiny flash storage devices.
gollark: It would be more practical to write information into diamond isotopically, by putting either carbon-12 or carbon-13 atoms in at each place in the lattice. You can apparently read that out with something something intersecting lasers.
gollark: The molecules move round too much. You want a solid.
gollark: Cubits? It would be trits or something (ternary).
gollark: Unfortunately, there was high cancer risk or something and it stopped working as well after a few years.
