Review by mach1ne Dec 15, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
This is a true masterpiece. All the basic material had been recorded between 1981 and 1983 then left to mature for over ten years until the time seemed right to release it. But as said before, the work is a masterpiece, using the idea of 'found sound' long, long before samplers and drum machines, laying down an ambient soundscape which has influenced numerous modern day projects. A similar sound can be heard in albums from Tortoise, Pan American and many more since - but none before.
