Reception

The Allmusic review by Mark Kirschenmann awarded the album 4½ stars stating "John Zorn's writing is particularly focused and well-informed, full of serpentine lines, mixed meters, and sudden shifts in tempo, while leaving plenty of room for collective and individual improvisation. The ensemble and the individual playing are uniformly superb throughout".[2]

Personnel

gollark: Immersive Engineering... is magic blocks but large and annoying to build.
gollark: TE has actually really complex automation involving tectonic initiators and pyroconcentrators.
gollark: Mekanism's got cool 5x processing which is at least complex to set up in some ways.
gollark: Not really.
gollark: The NuclearCraft chemical processing may be annoying, but at least I have to think about the process and not just plonk down a single block.
