Allmusic[3]

The Allmusic review by Kurt Keefner called it " an album that certainly does not lack for atmosphere, but which would have benefited from greater tunefulness. Still, a very worthy effort" but stated it was "not the best place to start one's Rabih Abou-Khalil collection, especially if one is coming from a jazz background".[3]

Personnel
gollark: I mean, with that, you give someone details for payments, and then they can extract arbitrary amounts of money?
gollark: I can go talk to a person human-ishly, and send them some cryptocurrency. It just happens to be over a mechanism which is actually fairly secure, unlike the awful credit card system.
gollark: This is not actually true.
gollark: Unfortunately, people do evilness and you cannot actually prevent this, and just blindly wanting them not to is unhelpful.
gollark: In the old days of the internet, you had open SMTP relays and no encryption and whatever. This was apparently quite nice, as long as nobody touched it and nobody did evilness.
