Reception

The All About Jazz by Scott Convery observes that "the sound is anything but traditional. The melodies are short and complex and bring to mind the precision of Frank Zappa or Henry Threadgill."[2]

Personnel

gollark: I mean, we *are* born with... brain things... which make us susceptible *to* belief in god.
gollark: I'm putting "wants" in quotes because evolution isn't an agent and doesn't literally "want" anything.
gollark: Duckduckgo it.
gollark: While I don't think "does evolution 'want' this" is the same thing as "is this good", if homosexuality was *really* bad for everyone it presumably would have been "evolved out" a while ago.
gollark: Just because something is *what evolution "wants"* or whatever doesn't mean it's actually a good thing in *other sets of values*.
