Created in collaboration with ambient composer Harold Budd, the album trades drums and structure for mood and motion — largely instrumental, with Liz Fraser’s voice woven in like weather, not foregrounded. Born of a scrapped cross-genre TV project, the record took on a quiet life of its own, shaped by improvisation and mutual intuition.


Now remastered from the original tapes by Robin Guthrie and reissued on vinyl for the first time in decades, this release captures a fleeting chapter never repeated — serene, weightless, and still unlike anything else in their catalogue.
