They do Fergus, they do....it's just a pity they ruined it with the sleeve for volume three despite using the same artist.

Yes Dermot, I see what you mean. The third one is not a bad image but does not appear to be in the same context as the other two I feel. Perhaps it reflects a different tone in the music?[/quote]

Actually the situation is more mundane than that Fergus. I remember contacting the composer himself to enquire why the original sleeve for Persistent Repetition of Phrases wasn't being used for the Lp version - the sleeve they used is very,very similar to the one we're talking about. He told me that it was too small for the Lp size cover!?!? So I would imagine a similar situation presented itself with the album in question - probably ran out of time due to extremely tight deadlines etc etc. I still cannot figure out whether it's a Narnia moment or a wardrobe one :-)

That is a bit shoddy....I am a firm believer that attention to detail in these matters is very important!

My sentiments entirely. Now you understand my difficulty in believing this music.....

Arrived recently,

Some good tunes, not too heavy on the bass beat either. A very happy new year to all.

Listening to this gorgeous collection from a master. It's his Windham Hill contribution over the years.... You would love this Fergus.

Cheers Dermot!

Listening to these absolute masters of drone - absolutely enthralling stuff but not everyone...

Ah! Now we're talking....
