Reception
The Allmusic review by Mark W. B. Allender awarded the album 4 stars stating "the pieces on Ignis form a body of old-world sacred music with an avant-garde sensibility".[2] In 2011, Ricardo Villalobos and Max Loderbauer used samples of Ignis as the basis for the track "Reshadub" on the remix album Re:ECM.
