Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars, calling it "an atmospheric solo set that utilizes overdubbing (although leaving space for unaccompanied solo sections)... Fortunately there is enough variety in this generally quiet music to hold one's interest".[2]

Personnel

gollark: There are drag chutes or something which can work at higher ones.
gollark: Don't they have a maximum velocity or something?
gollark: Yes.
gollark: The biter swarms mostly only went after radar (peaceful mode) and artillery, so biters would frequently just ablate all the radar on some of the rail lines to faraway sites while going after artillery stations.
gollark: Well, the spiderbots were more for nearby nests, artillery stuff had laser turrets.
