This was Hugh Hopper's second solo album but the first he released after leaving SOFT MACHINE. Hugh hooked up with recording engineer Mike Dunne who had been the assistant engineer on his first record ("1984"). Mike was now in charge of the mobile studio of Jon Anderson of YES. Mike suggested that he could provide the studio while Hugh would provide the music and musicians. Hugh notes: "By the time I had arranged the music into some sort of coherent order and invited the various guest musicians, Mike's studio was set up in one of London's big film sound studios, where YES rehearsed for tours. Jon Anderson occasionally popped his head around the door when we were beavering away at some tricky tape-looping or double-speeded bass, and Steve Howe looked in once, I seem to remember. I knew them slightly anyway, from SOFT MACHINE tours when the two bands came together at festivals".Guests on this album were Mark Charig, Elton Dean, Nigel Morris, Dave Stewart, Gary Windo and others. Hugh notes that when this album came out it received mostly good reviews but there was this "one ultraconservative British Jazz mag, where the reviewer said it has all the subtlety of a stone(14 pounds) of King Edwards (potatoes) tumbling downstairs and all the melodic and harmonic interest of a trapped wasp…not a jazz record, they decided…". Considering Hugh liked to change the tape speeds in the studio and layer sounds etc. i'll let him describe each song as it was difficult to know what I was hearing at times.Review by Mellotron Storm
