Reception

David R. Adler of Allmusic wrote "Gary Peacock's duo album with Bill Frisell is rewarding, though a bit repetitive. Most interesting is the sonic contrast between Peacock's imposing upright bass and Frisell's quirky electric guitar. After eight tracks, however, the appearance of Frisell's acoustic guitar -- on the standard "Good Morning, Heartache" -- comes as a welcome change. Most of the pieces are free improvisations, and while they all have their moments, some wind up treading water. "In Walked Po," an oblique take on the blues, is an exception. "Reciprocity" and "N.O.M.B." are the only originals credited solely to Peacock, leading one to believe they were written before the session. Perhaps not surprisingly, these two tracks are the most coherent on the record. The duo also plays two versions of "Home on the Range" (one would have sufficed), and Peacock renders "Red River Valley" as an unaccompanied solo. For Frisell, at least, this could have been a sign of things soon to come: His Nashville album was released about a year later."

gollark: No. I only like rectangles.

gollark: Anyway, point is: I can't really run the bulk of the logic anywhere but the client, and it doesn't matter because you're just ruining your own fun anyway.

gollark: No idea what "verification" is meant to mean.

gollark: And I wouldn't use PHP for it because PHP bad.

gollark: Yes, I could track *some* data on the serverside - a little information on pages and whatnot - but:- that would break in offline mode- a lot of the stuff needs information only available on the client- more work
