Reception
The AllMusic review by Jesse Jarnow awarded the album 3 stars, stating: "Instead playing textural pieces to convey a mood or emotion, the duo create sounds that imitate actions. What actions, of course, are left entirely to the listener -- though they are usually brutally violent or darkly industrial."[3]
