(Sealed original pressing – but spine has a small bit of seam splitting. Cover has a cutout mark.)
Wonderfully cool sounds from trumpeter Jac Berrocal – an artist you might know from his mid 80s experiments with Nurse With Wound, but who's maybe more in a jazz-based mode here!

Beautiful sounds from Joanna Brouk – an artist who was sometimes lost amidst the new age scene of the 80s, but one who's got a much deeper, more intellectual approach overall! True, Brouk's music does have a certain meditative spirit – but she also was a student of Terry Riley and ... read moreCD
A quartet of works composed by Gavin Bryars – some of them a lot more jazz-based than some of his other work for ECM! There's a warmth and thoughtfulness here that comes through right away – sensitive sounds that still share some of the modernist tones with Bryars' more adventurous ... read moreCD
