In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states "This is purely spiritual music, inspiring, moving, and deeply affecting."[1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album one of its rare crown accolades and says that "only Charles Gayle, another William Parker associate, has managed to push the Coltrane idiom further out."[2]
The Wire placed the album in their "50 Records Of The Year 1996" list.[3]

Types have now been deprecated and everything is implicitly converted based on a 1000-page spec nobody ever reads. Applications take up about 50GB of space each and use about half of a recent 60GHz carbon-nanotube ARMv18 CPU's processing power. Each browser tab uses 1TB of RAM, more if it's playing videos.
gollark: For practical high-level programming, no.
gollark: Bad.
