The American jazz-rock group Shadow Fax re-released this album in 1985 on Lost Lake Arts under the Windham Hill label, adding additional recordings, remixes, and new production to their re-initial work recorded in 1975. The album features nature-oriented progressive jazz-rock, including B2, a complex interplay of wind synths, guitar, piano, and tabla melody, and B3, a beautiful slow number with a shadowy resonance. Its oriental melodies and sound give a glimpse of the origins of the new age-oriented works later released on Windham Hill and related labels, but there is no light touch at all, and the worldview is quite spiritual and psychedelic. The DMM version improves the sound quality.
