This album in my humble opinion is as good as Hedge's classic, Aerial Boundaries. It hints at the future that would be realized in Oracle and the posthumous Torched, with a strong rock feel. This is helped along by excellent accompaniment on various woodwinds by Mike Moore and on several tracks (#2 & #9) by percussive instruments (Bryan Lanser). The last song (lyrics by e.e. cummings, singing by Hedges) includes bass (Michael Manring) and stellar harmony vocals by David Crosby and Graham Nash. All other songs are instrumentals. If you can't puchase the whole album, at least get Naked Stalk, Nomad Land, Ritual Dance, and I Carry Your Heart.
