Reception

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars stating "With this band, he never had to assert himself as a leader because they could instinctively follow his cues. Since that time, he has had to assert himself more and more. And while the music he's writing has every bit of the wonder, awe, and irritation of his earlier work, it has never been played with this virtuosity".[2]

Personnel

gollark: I don't know if it's useful to write to multiple registers at once, but it's cool.
gollark: Cool idea.
gollark: Ah yes, Kolmogorov complexity.
gollark: Also, human brains have weird color processing quirks because instead of answering the question "what mixture of light is entering this part of the visual field" they're solving the harder but more useful one of what color an object is and what light sources are present and that sort of thing.
gollark: The color of the thing as seen by a camera (or your eyes) depends on lighting conditions and what's near it and configuration and such.
