AllMusic[1]

In his review for AllMusic, Alain Drouot states "Her pieces display her knack for pretty melodies full of spirituality and poetry, whether they take the form of a reverie or are developed over a solid groove."[1]

The Exclaim! review by David Dacks says "Vision Quest is both dissonant and groovy all the way through, and that is worth celebrating."[2]

Personnel
gollark: Also, you can't really do compression.
gollark: Your actual application code either can't look at revisions very well or has to deal with git for it, and merge conflicts can happen and then your application has to either just shut down and bother the user or try and deal with the stringly typed interfæces of git somehow.
gollark: Lots of these things just dump all notes in a folder of plaintext files and use git for sync/revision control, but I feel like this is a horrible system which is prone to badness.
gollark: minoteaur, coming never, will eventually never include an actual dedicated synchronization engine, to deal with this.
gollark: Currently "my notes" means "the DokuWiki data folder", which is not actually that much use since I can't access it concurrently without breaking things, meaning to make edits I have to suffer the latency back to the main osmarksßservers.
