Following the electric jazz\/funk of 'Susto' and 'One-Way Traveller', the majority of the 1980s was devoted to creating this music. It stands as a record of confronting pure electronic sound, a globally rare work that bridges the missing link between jazz and electronic music. To be able to reintroduce this to the world through Taylor Dupree's remastering is nothing short of a joy.\" (Masaaki Hara, rings producer) Between fiercely burning flames, silence is born. Just for an instant. The pitch-black darkness gradually turns orange.Without a word, it attempts to speak. There lies a message stronger than anything else. A single moment transports you to another dimension. There, time flows eternally. An unstoppable accumulation of seconds upon seconds. In that instant of feeling the grandeur of Earth and the universe, everyone inevitably looks back upon themselves, contemplating their own existence.
