Allmusic[2]

Allmusic gave the album 3½ stars.[2] JazzTimes' Aaron Steinberg observed "Digital Wildlife can sound, at any random point, like chamber-classical, abstract rock or folk. Frith also takes the title of the recording quite seriously: he seems to have taken tapes from the group's live-time improvisations and mixed them into a multilayered, abruptly shifting, densely overlapping collage of machine music. Acoustic and electronic elements have been cut, rearranged and pasted into a dreamy floating space, where any voice could at any time sound thoroughly foregrounded, distant, looped or distorted beyond recognition... Digital Wildlife has ambience to spare, though to most it will sound like a racket. Give this one some time. Frith has carefully crafted his own lexicon of sound, and once you've tuned in to what he's doing this beautiful recording pays dividends".[3]

Personnel
gollark: This is probably the wrong place, but there aren't others for Reikan 1.7.10 packs, so can someone help trim down the modlist here? Some are notmods or folders, as I did `ls > mods.txt`.
gollark: Oh, and also seems like you just added harder recipes for a few things. Interesting.
gollark: So...you disable omnitools, fancy armor, RC somethings, BM bound stuff (wait, that's commted out), ***TC flight***, muck with foci for some reason, AE2's "blockgrinder" (is that the grindstone ore doubly thing?) is disabled, ProjectE is destroyed, no osmium tools (what?), one builder's want gone (what?), some generators gone (what?), more flight gone, no potion rings, ... and if I understand this correctly you just hide some of the recipes rather than actually fix them...?!
gollark: Hmm, zenscript seems quite horrible.
gollark: Er, why not.
