DESCRIPTION:
this record has been out of print for years. apparently, adrian still has a few copies on his site. outside of getting lucky in a used store or at a garage sale, that's about the only place you're going to find this. so, i feel ok about uploading this as a whole.

in fact, this is actually a really interesting piece of music that needs to be heard as a cohesive whole to really understand it. it's both neat from an impressionist classical guitar perspective and from a guitar synth perspective. i'm picking up influences from oldfield and di meola (as well as the obvious fripp and zappa), but i'm not aware of anybody previously taking working with the guitar synth to this kind of level before this record. so, it's also an important record to historians of the electric guitar (or just fans or players of the instrument).

i've decompressed and pasted this together in foobar from good sounding mp3s at 320.
