Reception

Allmusic found that "more than any other recording issued by this excellent band, Leucocyte captures the art of music making at the moment of conception."[1] PopMatters said that the album "is refreshing if not always easy or fun listening. E.S.T. could have continued making contemplative or gospel-tinged acoustic jazz in the Jarrett/ECM mode (the brief “Ajar” here is a fine example), but Svensson and his group have been frying bigger fish from the start."[2]

Charts
gollark: It won't be *exact*, being an image and all, but you could probably do "close enough". You would need a lot more resolution on the circle to display it well than the rectangle, though.
gollark: I'm beginning to think that it might be easier to just hand-write SVGs.
gollark: Here's an incredibly bad diagram. I need an image editor for Linux which actually works.
gollark: Take each pixel of the input and its X/Y coordinates, divide the circle up into an equal amount of "pixels" using polar coordinates, and map them on.
gollark: You could probably do it (with "image" meaning some pixel-y thing on a computer and not some mathematical variant), but it would look stupid.
