Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album four stars, stating, "One of the better ECM recordings... filled with moody originals, improvisations that blend together jazz and world music, and atmospheric ensembles. This date works well both as superior background music and for close listening".[2]

gollark: Site-41 on CN has an APIONET interdimensional relay server rack, which frequently crashed partly due to power loss despite being connected to the site's entire generator array.
gollark: If you transmit APIONET messages on a loop from an average computer, you can easily make all the nearby repeaters crash from power failure even though they have 300RF/t of generator capacity.
gollark: APIONET is a wildly inefficient OC networking protocol I made.
gollark: You know what's cool? APIONET.
gollark: Oh please, umnikos, as if "real programming" always has good sane docs...
