The first album by British guitarist John Themis, released in 1983, who is known for his high-quality New Age works such as Atmospheric Conditions. The album features numerous British session musicians, including vocalist Claire Hamill, known for her collaborations with Wishbone Ash and Yes’s Steve Howe. While the record presents songs strongly rooted in contemporary jazz, folk, and rock, it also offers glimpses of the pastoral and beautifully serene sound that would later define his New Age recordings — a highly ambitious and inspired effort.
