Absolutely love this work. Takes me back to Terry Riley’s early string quartets, Meredith Monk’s idiosyncratic rhythms (though in this case long and drawn out), a bit of Eno’s interest in texture and Aphex Twin’s experimentations. Aside from all these personal resonances, its a lovely listen! Jay Hodgson

This record at times is the sum of its parts and the strength of its parts. At times, you can plainly tell the player from 100 yards away with your eyes closed, but then you can hear them echoing the ghosts of those who came before them. An incredibly brilliant record from 3 master blasters! pjnewman-364

After a precision liftoff in Tabasco and setting a course to travel the space ways from planet to planet, the album peels away through a wormhole just past Saturn in the eponymous track Mayan Space Station to journey through time and space in Canyons of Light. eric F
