A note from Mike Cooper: "In the past some reviewers and critics of my series of ambient/electronic/exotic releases mentioned Jon Hassell and even suggested that we should make an album together. That never happened of course and probably never would have. An influence of his music on my exotica music is in some ways true but initially to be honest it was the cover art by Mati Klarwein for Aka/Darbari/Java and Dream Theory in Malaya that I would sometimes turn to look at for inspiration. They reminded me of places that I loved to be and why I was making the music. They were non-existent or imaginary places that I might have visited in dreams or half remembered from real places. Mati also provided art work for the covers of Miles Davis's records, from Bitches Brew onwards and for Carlos Santana amongst many others. There is also a lot of King Tubby and Lee Scratch Perry's influence here in the process as well as the poetry and novels of Nathaniel Mackey which were referenced often during the gestation period." Featuring Mike Cooper (samples, field recordings, voice, lap steel guitars), Pierre Bastien (valve cornet), and Mark Cunningham (trumpet). Mastered by Lawrence English at Negative Space. Design by Traianos Pakioufakis. Cover image by Mike Cooper.
