The songs on this cassette are ancient incantations that make us travel back in time to our childhood, when music was a daydream and everyday life a strange adventure. There's something arcane and primal in the tinkling of notes here: in the lo-fi ohms of tracks like "Holy Smoke" and "Field," in the twilight pace of "Bell Tower" or in the epic broomstick space ride of "A castle at the heart of an asteroid field."
