Quote by Wang Wei (701-761), printed behind first CD tray:

"Dismounting, I offer you wine.
And you ask, "Where are you bound?"
You say, "I've found no fame or favors;
I must return to rest in the South Mountain."
You leave, and I ask no more -
White clouds drift on and on.

"Too Little Too Late" samples the song "Locked Out" from The Pursuit Of Happyness soundtrack, scored by Andrea Guerra.

More copies of this were re-released in 2011. Considering the price this has been fetching lately, that is some interesting news.

See the comment below for the story behind this release...

The newer version has a glossy stock bi-fold cover. The original version has a textured bi-fold cover.

If I have to listen to one song for the rest of my live, 24 hours a day, I'll pick "White Clouds Drift On And On [Intrusion Shape I]".Wat a number.
I can listen to this one, over and over again. Thank you Steven, for the mixing.

This one sucks you right in to the deepest ocean, makes you vanish into thin air and reappear as a fluffy cloud way up there in the deep blue sky, the third track tears out your heart out and leaves it dangling forever in deep space. The sounds make you time travel to all the beautiful places on this earth, chill you in the Mariantrog amongst the dolphins and shine amongst the brightest stars in space. Qua sound up there with GAS and Basinski, with Andrew Chalk and Deepchord Presents Echospace. Not only a true musician, someone who makes such sheer beauty you wish it would be a lifelong soulmate. Stephen Hitchel made it happen. Brock Van Wey made the music. It is out there for all who want to listen. Suffice to say you need this. It is like you need air to breath.
Rated 5/5

Simply Stunning. A must have album. The intrusion mixes complete the works perfectly although they are a touch away from that which you would expect from Hitchell. I would say a slight break away from his basic channel inspired echospace sound and more of a very worthy re-interpretation of Brocks awesome work. Saying this, the twenty four minute intrusion shape I remix of White Clouds Drift On And On is sure to satisfy those of us who crave that deep intrusion touch. If you're into Brocks sound or anything along the intrusion lines add this to your collection now. A marvelous album when the set or setting dictates something profound.
