Album Notes & Community Reviews

An early conceptual experiment in mood music that heavily prominently features the eerie, warbling electronics of the theremin. Backed by sweeping orchestrations, the unusual instrumental timbres were specifically marketed for domestic relaxation, setting a crucial precedent for the space-age pop and lounge genres of the following decade.
