Glad you like it. There's an inside joke in there for Greg and I - in one of the later tracks, one of the Martian invasion voice-overs has the aliens announcing that their first act of aggression will be to destroy the village of Guyhirn, a singularly small and insignificant village near where the band are from and near where we grew up.
An album of improvised duets between Kanoko Nishi on koto and Aram Shelton on soprano saxophone. The two instruments are quite different, representing wind & string families, with opposing Eastern and Western backgrounds. They share a common pitch range. Both are soloistic. The musicians explore a musical area far beyond the scope of either instruments' tradition. The resulting dialog is constantly evolving. The sound is the melody.
Mickey Baker's been helping to pass the time while I manually add in some of the missing album art from that Guvera stash - not that I'm complaining none.

Got it back when it was 2 downloads, now $11.98 - it just ain't fittin'.
Guvera gift. Holds up well.
It can be refreshing to be bludgeoned every now and then. This is actually a pretty good album.
All over the genre landscape today.
Their show is so visual that I am always surprised how well their music works just as music.
