On the album, Lytton is joined by trumpeter Herb Robertson, violinist Philipp Wachsmann, and bassist Dominic Duval.

[1][2] The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings awarded the album 31⁄2 stars, calling it "visionary in scope."

They noted that Lytton's gigantic drum kit "apparently took several hours to set up," although he used it "as sparsely as possible" in the context of the recording.

Rather than emphasize virtuosity, the work taxes the musicians' ability to build upon emerging forms with tenuously defined materials.
