A wonderfully up-close-and-in-room earful of Levin and Bruford conjuring up a kind of space-jazz that would make up the spine of Requiem during the recording of Beat.
This track is available for download as part of a bumper collection of Mr Stormy's Monday Selections. His fifth year of treasures from the murky, cavernous DGM archives, is now available for download.

The initial musical instrument was the heartbeat. Jazz is rhythm.
