Reception
The Allmusic review by Sean Westergaard awarded the album 4 stars noting that "the band is at the top of their game after all the touring, and everyone seems to have kicked up the energy a notch or two.
There's a lot more conducted improvisation than on the previous Electric Masada release...
Thanks to their improvisational skills, you hardly notice that the program is much the same on both discs.
Score another one for John Zorn and company.
At the Mountains of Madness is a winner."
