Album Notes & Community Reviews

Utilizing the incredibly innovative technique of treating the human voice as a wordless, soaring instrument, this highly atmospheric arrangement effectively defined the early 'jungle' sound. The wonderfully mellow and deeply melodic instrumental interplay showcases a composer rapidly evolving beyond standard dance band conventions.
