Reception

The Allmusic review by Alex Henderson states "Constellations isn't easy to absorb on the first listen; like a lot of avant-garde jazz, this is music that reveals more and more of its power with each listen".[3]

gollark: * able to fail
gollark: It makes some sense for them, really, since their type system and error handling is terrible enough that having more operations fail would make Go code even worse.
gollark: That would break backward compatibility.
gollark: Yes, but like I said, Go stuff uses strings when it really shouldn't because the stuff involved really works on byte sequences.
gollark: This is important in paths.
