Reception
The Allmusic review by Steve Huey awarded the album 5 stars stating "The music is pure stream-of-consciousness -- no discernible pre-set themes, just free-flowing ideas and interaction among the musicians... It's a shame there aren't more documents of this phase in Rivers' career, though that could be said of pretty much all of his phases. If it's Rivers the free improviser you're looking for, Streams is a tour de force and one of the highlights of his extremely distinguished career".[2]

gollark: Anyway. Threadripper offers something like 12 DIMM slots. So put 32GB in each and you can open two Chrome tabs.<@290217153293189120>
gollark: Portals.
gollark: Use your entire upgrade budget to switch to threadripper or a server platform, so you can install more RÄM.
gollark: I have an idea.
gollark: Also, if you do throw out your existing RAM (don't, keep it somewhere for future use, but I mean if you stop using it), buy 3200MHz DIMMs if they're not much more expensive.
