A refined and musically-inclined doctor, Satoru Takazawa (whose stage name is Pneuma and whose band is called Trembling Strain) invited Morgan to record a few pieces for an album which also featured three fine Japanese underground bands. Two of the tracks were recorded in Pneuma’s home studio using cheap synthesisers and percussion. The third is a live track featuring Morgan playing piano and melodica through his extended tape delay setup. A charming glimpse of the early days of Morgan’s musical rebirth in Japan. The cover was based on a design by Morgan in the style of the "Cards To Keep" series of collage postcards he created during his Pipe Records era (see the Art Gallery).
