Album Notes & Community Reviews
Dedicated to the famous marine explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the French synthesizer pioneer's seventh studio album explores vastly contrasting sonic environments. While the first half heavily utilizes upbeat Caribbean steel drums and calypso rhythms, the title track offers an incredibly immersive, forty-six-minute ambient aquatic suite.
