Jah Lloyd meets David Cunningham - the legendary recordings from 1978
for the first time available on vinyl.

"The source tapes for this LP were recorded in Jamaica by Jah Lloyd
(Patrick Francis) as part of a series he made for Virgin Records' Front
Line label. The original tapes were not released and were offered to me
by Front Line's Jumbo Vanrennen with the suggestion that I should
"remix" the music. I accepted the project, expecting lots of time in one
of Virgin's studios to play with the music and the equipment, only to be
presented with a mono master tape.

So I began to invent (or perhaps re-invent) techniques of editing,
looping, filtering and subtraction to deal with unremixable mono
material (these were the days before samplers). The subsequent work took
a long time: as I thought it might be something of an indulgence I
worked on it at weekends and evenings rather than let it interfere with
other projects. The techniques used here expanded my vocabulary of
musical electronic (as opposed to electronic music) treatments and
appear in a very different form on records made at that time. Notably
"Fourth Wall", my collaboration with Patti Palladin, and my production
work on Michael Nyman's records. The original players remain
unidentified. Jah Lloyd used various combinations of musicians but did
not include who played on which tracks."

(David Cunningham, May 1995)

Basic tracks recorded by Jah Lloyd, restructured and produced by David
Cunningham for Piano Records. Keyboard on "Flicker" by Julian Marshall,
other additions by David Cunningham.
