What can we possibly say about this quite exceptional array of strange and wonderful sounds that the contents themselves - and the music samples! - can't say for us?!

Perhaps we might add that we certainly haven't relied on the sounds alone, their strange textures and their diversity.

We have selected these pieces not only for their instrumentation, but also for their musical quality. It's all good music, as well as providing a wonderfully mixed and varied program.

Here's a disc you can set playing then sit back and enjoy all 77 minutes of it!

The accompanying booklet gives descriptions and illustrations of the instruments as well as notes on the composers and works performed.
