Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars calling it "Superior to Walton's RCA recordings of the period and his upcoming output for Columbia, this obscure effort finds all of the musicians playing up to their usual level of creativity".[3]

Personnel

gollark: That's actual MB, not MiB.
gollark: I think it's separate, and a 32 minute one is 11.52MB.
gollark: I've got a playback program which loads tapes from chests, reads their metadata, and randomly picks tracks to play, then loads the relevant tape, seeks a bit and plays to the end. It switches in a second or so so it's actually not that awful.
gollark: That would probably work. Opus is the best thing around now and the quality would be *okay* at 48kbps.
gollark: I mean, it would probably be significantly bigger if you just ran PCM audio through a general purpose compression algorithm.
