Reception

Allmusic awarded the album with 3 stars and its review by Richard S. Ginell states: "McLaughlin sounds rejuvenated and refreshed in this format, as he switches between acoustic guitar and a guitar synthesizer attachment that softens and rounds his attacks while creating some luminous timbres and textures. McLaughlin's on-again, off-again Indian kick rises prominently into view here as Trilok Gurtu's role broadens into that of an all-purpose percussionist, producing some amazing sounds as backdrops".[1]

gollark: Doesn't having *no* updates even if you want them make it unsuitable for basically everything but a liveCD?
gollark: Can you though? Might a lot of Windows internals not expect CRLFs?
gollark: I just add random CRs to all my files!
gollark: I've definitely seen Windows installing weird useless stuff on update before.
gollark: 7 still has the resource wastage, maybe telemetry and forced updates, and also maybe other-OS-breaking.
