Following the electric jazz\/funk of 'Susto' and 'One-Way Traveller', most of the 1980s was devoted to creating this music. It stands as a record of his confrontation with 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) There exists art that reveals itself only once, never to show the same expression again. Sometimes fierce, sometimes gentle.No one can ever imitate the artistry of Mother Nature. Instantly transported to another dimension. There, time flows eternally. The accumulation of seconds, unstoppable by anyone. In moments when we feel the grandeur of Earth and the universe, everyone reflects on themselves and looks inward.
