Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow gave the album 2½ stars, stating, "One can easily tell the two guitarists apart, since Abercrombie mostly plays electric and has a more forceful sound, while Towner's solos are usually more introverted. They perform three of Towner's songs, a pair of Abercrombie originals, and three collaborations. Although the interaction tends to be fairly quiet, there is a lot of subtle passion."[2] The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide said, "another album of spectacular duets".[3]

Personnel
gollark: You wouldn't actually see the beams, for one thing, as far as I know.
gollark: "Big laser weapons on spaceships" probably could exist, I guess. Though they probably wouldn't really look like that.
gollark: What do they actually *do*, though?
gollark: Can you be more specific? IIRC Star Trek phasers did a gazillion random things depending on plot convenience.
gollark: I'm hoping there's some comparatively cheap way to at least mitigate the climatic issues, because otherwise it seems unlikely that (without massive societal change of some kind) much will be done.
