On the album, Oxley is joined by guitarist Ian Brighton, violinists David Bourne and Philipp Wachsmann, and bassist Barry Guy.

The music is collective, non-egotistical: a rustling world of detail and blur, highly active yet somehow evasive, sounds insinuating themselves on the edge of consciousness.

"[6] Ken Waxman of JazzWord praised Oxley's solo tracks, stating that they "confirm the percussion smarts that allowed him to gig with Hard Boppers and Free Jazzers alike.

Plus these stentorian bass drum rumbles, cymbal shrills and electronic drones are not only persuasive on their own, but as accompaniment transform showpieces into contrapuntal connections.

"[7] Musician and writer Henry Kuntz called the album "essential listening" thanks to its "advanced technical and conceptual ideas," and described the track titled "Combination" as "one of [Oxley's] most fully realized integrations of electronic and acoustic sound sources on record."
