Reception
Critic Emmett Palaima gave Perichoresis an indifferent reception, saying "the album has some interesting moments, usually electronic sounds, western melodies, or the occasional guitar solo such as on "Saptarshi", but these often only last for a bar or two before plunging back into a dull microtonal section."[5]
