Synopsis

Album Description
Japanese limited edition issue of the album classic in a deluxe, miniaturized LP sleeve replica of the original vinyl album artwork. The one time member of Gong and System 7, Steve Hillage released 7 studio and one live album in his tenure with Virgin Records from 1975 to 1982. He played an integral part in Gong's rise to prominence and after joining in 1972, he pursed other music interests outside the band. These 8 albums proved him to be as prolific as he was out-there. A string of top 40 albums including the top 10 album "L" cemented Hillage's place at the heart of the acid generation and to this day he is still making music be it as producer, re-mixer or artist. The digitally remastered album boasts a number of bonus tracks from the Hillage's personal tape archives. The booklet liner notes were penned by prog expert Mark Powell and include photos and memorabilia also from the Hillage archives.

Underrated milestone album of electronic music
W. Rosenblatt | New York, NY | 07/13/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is an amazingly beautiful album, especially in its latest digitally remastered incarnation. It's also an unheralded classic, deserving a slot as one of the most important in the history of electronic music -- right up there with Tangerine Dream's Phaedra and Rubycon, Terry Riley's Rainbow in Curved Air, Fripp and Eno's No Pussyfooting, and take your pick of several Klaus Schulze albums. Finally, this album is a seminal influence on today's trance/electronica scene through The Orb and Hillage's own System 7. If you're new to Hillage, try this album, and then for a contrast, the Todd Rundgren-produced "L". The latter album has a much harder edge, covers of Donovan and the Beatles, and a track ("Lunar Musick Suite") that almost sounds like heavy metal (almost)."
