	"This music is not dancing music, but basically music for listening to..." Yeah man, I couldn't have put it better myself! Not much seems to be known about this artist - this is all that Jesùs Acrûn at JCS studio where it was recorded says about the album: "Probably the best description would be along the lines of "Canterbury scene meets Nusic meets RIO meets free jazz", if that makes any sense. It's hard to say much, but for sure, this is a somewhat short but intense mostly keyboard-oriented prog thingue. A considerable variety of instruments feature on this release, including an over 110-year-old Archibald Ramsden acoustic piano, nearly 60-year-old Hammond S6 chord organ, Ensoniq ESQ-1, Kawai KMA-37, Yamaha PSR-E413, Hohner International, Wurlitzer 206, and of course the various percussions and strings. This release was recorded on a single unopened (well, prior to being used for this) 7" reel of 1/4" Scotch 142 tape, which is a non-backcoated 1-mil polyester type. A Tascam 22-4 4-track tape machine was the recorder and reproducer." And there we are...
