-So what did I think? 
-I think it was a failed souffle. There were a few interesting ingredients, and it got puffed up with potential in the baking, but collapsed into a disappointing mess upon being served. 
- 
-More particulars? The disappointing lack of any strong connecting narrative. Excessive use of open instrumental space without much interesting in the way of musical development. The notion that the artist can just throw out some half-baked ideas and hope that the audience finds meaning in the resulting chaos.
