Notes: One of the more obscure entries in Jon Davison's discography. Davison, Romero, Ireland and Cozzi were all in Sky Cries Mary at the time when Romero did this collaboration with Greinke. The photos were by Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic's then wife, Shelli.

It is ambient music, all textures and slow-moving. Most of the vocals are wordless, save on (2) and (6), with (6) the only one you could really describe as a traditional song. The duo did a second album, Omen, two years later. (HP, 30 Sep 17)
