Review by sneeuwitje Apr 04, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)

A substantial amount of the tracks on this album was used in the soundtrack of the Australian movie 'Malcolm' [Nadia Tass, 1986].
The almost naively exploring character of the compositions highly sustain the atmosphere of the movie; one of the best movie-soundtracks I know. If you don't like the music -which is unheard of- at least see the movie...
