The improvisations are a hedgerow teeming with life. Cranc's take on Burn's transcriptions are fantastic revealing all kinds of angles on Bailey's musical mind - well worth comparison with Philip Thomas's takes (have to hear Pat Thomas's versions now!). stchase

From the title and instrumentation, one would expect meditative music with folk elements, but here it goes in a different direction. Contemplativeness may be a strong component here, but its essence lies in the search for and exploration of new sounds and the reflection of the electroacoustic image within traditional contours. jiristepan
