This really is an incredible album. I've managed to get a re press having missed it the first time around. What a journey and one that I feel will develop and grow with every listen. The MFM re press is amazing too folks, don't sit on this. Pick up at all costs.

Repress a-coming- along with many other bits of back catalogue - praise be to MFM x

Music from Memory please repress this :) I know you will! You want this music to be physically in as many houses as possible to contribute to a better world. And houses need vinyls for when the internet is going to collapse!

Is it known who the female singer is on this album? Her voice and singing is so comforting, she could save lifes.
I'd like te hear every last breath of her available somewhere..

Can’t think of another record better suited to this unsettling period of social distancing. Gorgeous, meditative world music for housebound isolation.

Mine seems to have a pressing issue right on the first track. I hear a couple of short dusty sounds. I thought is was some kind of scratch but nothing is visible. What a shame, it looked promising.

There is a pressing issue on my copy. At the end of the B side there are some kind of scratches (locted on a small area) I think it was some dirt inside the grooves but not the vynils is affected.I have seen thi kind of default recenlty on few records I ve bought.

Soulful, nourishing music. Deserves to be regarded as one of the great ambient records.
