about

This album was always a rarity for me on two counts. First, I needed help from two other people to make it. These were the now sadly deceased British guitarist, Fantastic Beard, and the American singer/songwriter, Valerie Polichar. Secondly, here I try to be influenced by a style of music overtly. This is kosmische or krautrock.

The result is an album that doesn't sound like any other I've made and that makes it special. That's why I'm reissuing it now in a slightly reduced form. I have removed four tracks that were in the original release which I see as cutting away a little fat to leave the tender meat alone.

Thank you to my collaborators again who helped me make something I couldn't have without their uniquely talented input.
