An album released in 1986 by the relatively unknown jazz pianist Robert Welsh from Queensland, Australia, on the independent label Cleopatra Records based in Melbourne. This album showcases a highly unique style that blends songwriting influenced by Eastern philosophy, particularly represented by India, with the lyrical jazz piano styles inherited from luminaries like Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett, along with impressionist music akin to Debussy. It exudes an Eternal Music vibe reminiscent of the cosmopolitanism found in Don Cherry's work. The reissue was released in 2021 through a collaboration between Michael Kucyk's Efficient Space and the emerging archive label Fresh Hold Releases.
