Album Notes & Community Reviews

The set joins Rich's two earliest cassette albums, 'Trances' and 'Drones', recorded while he was staging all-night sleep concerts at Stanford. Pieces such as 'Cave Paintings' and 'Wheel of Earth' unfold at the threshold of audibility, built to alter listeners' states rather than hold their attention.
