Matthew Shipp claims this album is among the greatest trio albums, particularly in jazz piano trios. The cohesion within the trio, not dominated by its leader, is highlighted as they build on equal interplay.
The long-standing collaboration, working together and recording regularly, has resulted in a highly integrated trio. Their music seamlessly combines composed and improvised elements, avoiding cliches of both straightahead and free jazz.
Tracks like 'Primal Poem' and 'Coherent System' showcase the trio's integrated sound and excellent interplay. 'Sea Song' and 'The Function' highlight individual instruments creating contrasts and interplay dynamics within the tracks.
