"Pianist, conductor, arranger and composer Bruno Fontaine is the perfect example of a 21st century artist. This collection features a broad selection of Satie's piano works. The Gymnopédies represent an important precursor to modern ambient music. Satie's Nocturnes were his final works for solo piano and are considered among his most significant achievements in the genre. The Gnossiennes are a highly experimental form invented by the composer. Also included are the Avant-dernières pensées, the Pièces froides and Petits Chorals."

"Nommos Visiting is an electronic work based in speculative fiction, written in 1979 by American composer Craig Leon. It was inspired by a 1970s New York exhibition devoted to the art of the Dogon people of Mali. The Dogon are renowned for their cosmogony and for their sculptures evoking their religious beliefs, received from extraterrestrial visitors, known as the Nommos, a group of amphibian humanoids who came to them from the region of the double star Sirius. Leon explains, 'It was an attempt to imagine the music that the Nommos brought with them to Earth from their home planet, thereby influencing the development of our own music.'"
