Album Notes & Community Reviews

As pioneering evangelists of the Moog synthesizer, the duo crafted an incredibly forward-thinking LP that seamlessly blended nascent electronic music with ecological awareness. The groundbreaking recording is among the first to integrate actual environmental field recordings with sweeping synthesized soundscapes and light rock instrumentation. Its conceptual framework and ambient textures heavily anticipated the entire New Age movement.
