Album Notes & Community Reviews

This intimate, strictly instrumental collaboration pairs former Soft Machine bassist Hugh Hopper with National Health keyboardist Alan Gowen. 'Two Rainbows Daily' strips the Canterbury scene jazz-rock down to its most ambient, textural core, relying exclusively on layered fuzz bass and electric piano. The result is a profoundly meditative, melancholic, and deeply influential ambient-jazz recording.
