The 1987 second album by American multi-instrumentalist Patrick O’Hearn, who worked with Missing Persons and Frank Zappa, and participated with Alex Acuna on Dan Siegel's new age fusion album "Another Time, Another Place." Released on Private Music, a label founded by Peter Baumann after he moved to the US. Baumann was a member of early Tangerine Dream, and after leaving the group, he pursued a solo career and also founded Paragon Studio, where he worked as a recording engineer and producer. This is a self-produced work where O’Hearn himself played and programmed all instruments, including synthesizers, bass, drums, synth drums, percussion, and samplers. It features dreamy new-age electronics throughout, with even more rhythmic elements than his previous work, "Ancient Dreams." The sound production, co-produced with Baumann, is also excellent, offering exceptionally high-quality sound for electronic music of this period.
