Notes: A
superb example of the exotica genre. Gentle rhythms, unusual percussion
and bird calls to boot. Just another fine outing by Mr. Denny and
the boys. Liner notes by James Michner (gratis) praise the band
and proclaim that this is music to see. In fact the cover claims
that this is "...visual sound". Fantastic bachelor pad
with an Asian twist cover photo make for an all around enjoyable
trip.
