Reception
The Allmusic review by Bill Meredith awards this album with 4.5 stars and states: "Bruford's chordal patterns sound practically symphonic amid his epic starts and stops — further proof of the originality of one of the most musical drummers of all-time. Like all great live releases, Stamping Ground makes you wish you had been there."[2]

gollark: Although he does do stupid things sometimes.
gollark: Oh, and he's partly behind OpenAI, which while kind of annoying in some ways is responsible for GPT-2 and GPT-3, which are *really cool*.
gollark: Tons of institutions and people are overly focused on maintaining the status quo, but Elon at least has interesting ideas and sometimes makes them work.
