review...
The most ambitious (arguably) of Kevin's releases, in that it is just
three big works, including an extended 28 minute suite and a majestic 20
minute opus, blending his familiar style with elements that recall some of
the earlier works of Edgar Froese and Cluster/Roedelius, and a kind of
neo-baroque approach to keyboard melodies.
Possibly the most obscure of Kevin's releases, and never reissued before,
this was a tricky one to restore, but the results sound pretty good!
