This was featured on the first edition of the guidebook 'obscure sound'. A superb album released in 1982 by Mark Egan, a superb bass player from Massachusetts, USA, known for his participation in the Pat Metheny Group and his work with John Abercrombie, and American drummer Danny Gottlieb, also an original member of the Pat Methney Group. A1 has a fast and exhilarating rhythm with an unusually pleasant hi-hat and cymbal beat, and the sound of floating Fender Rhodes and keyboards is intoxicating, while A3 has a melodious bass melody and a synthesiser sound that spreads out slowly and is too pleasant. A3 is a superb organic fusion that will have you feeling like you're floating in the ocean. A very obscure promo copy with only a stamp on a plain white label.
A1: Color Wheel
A3: Electric Fields
