Solo album released in 1981 by American keyboard player Kit Watkins, who also played in Camel and Happy The Man. Duo performance with drummer/percussionist Coco Roussel, the album features mainly synthesised electronic sounds, ranging from symphonic progressive rock to B-grade sci-fi film-like synth-pop, but with classical guitars and flutes. The five-beat, cool, flying new age crossover sound is a real treat. B2, which is reminiscent of German jazz bassist Adelhard Roidinger's masterpiece Computer & Jazz Project I and the Estonian group VSP Project, is particularly recommended.
