Album Notes & Community Reviews

Engineered primarily as a dazzling demonstration piece for the newly popularized home stereophonic setup, this release exaggerates spatial separation to thrilling, gimmick-laden extremes. The eclectic arrangements employ a massive array of exotic percussion instruments, bouncing sharply delineated sounds aggressively from the left to right channels.
