Reception

Critic Emmett Palaima gave Perichoresis a lukewarm 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]
