A strange turn in Karlheinz Stockhausen's discography: a record on Chrysalis, the rock label of Jethro Tull. Ceylon (1970) is one of the pieces from the Für kommende Zeiten cycle, a text composition played by his group with Asian percussion, electronium and voice, built on a rhythm Stockhausen had heard in Sri Lanka. On the other side, Bird of Passage is a version of Zugvogel, from the same cycle.
The record was aimed at the new audience that discovered Stockhausen through rock and the counterculture, with a cover designed by Trevor Key. This is a 1976 US promo pressing.
