The AllMusic review states "Percussionist Alex Cline's first album as a composer demonstrates, right out of the gate, the man's knack for conjuring timeless, elemental music. Minimal ambience opens most tracks, with Cline's love of Asian percussion evident via gongs and Tibetan singing bowls".[2]

gollark: If I make it delete data from ≥2 years ago, it'll only use 250MB at most, which is fine. So, since it's not 2 years yet, I can ignore it. Great!
gollark: Obviously, Electron.
gollark: I guess this depends on exactly what the overhead of a SQLite row is?
gollark: Oh, 117MB/year, I may have actually underestimated this.
gollark: It pings 7 websites every 30 seconds, and then generates something like 16 bytes of data each, so it should grow slower than Moore's law if ubq's disk is big enough.
