Reception

In 2007 the album was included in The Guardian list 1000 Albums to Hear Before You Die.[2]

The AllMusic Guide to Electronica describes the album as "a touch less powerful than on Alles" and not as immediately varied.[3] Trouser Press, contrastingly, considers that the album "perfects the advances of Alles ist gut".[4] Simon Reynolds, in , describes it as touching on themes of alchemy: "the notion that instead of chasing the profane gold of material wealth, the true quest is for gold of the spirit."[5]
