Reception

edit

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said "Tim Berne's music on his CD sometimes looks a little toward Anthony Braxton's free bop lines but also incorporates some electronics, unusual instrumental textures and some just plain weird sounds" and called it an "esoteric yet listenable set".[3]
