Each In Our Own Thoughts

Tracks 1 & 5 are settings of texts by Chris Cutler. Track 2 is one of four pieces for strings written in Grenoble in Spring 1993, the others of which are as yet unperformed. Track 3 derives from a larger, abandoned, project "Three Dreams Of Descartes", an oratorio in which the philosopher pits his rational self against various personal demons that come wrapped in different kinds of Time. Track 4 was written for Henry Cow (as "Erk Gah"), performed at concerts in 1976-77, but never recorded until now. Track 6 was written for real orchestra and later tapped into a computer & revised for midi instrumentation. Tracks 1, 3, 4 & 5 recorded and mixed Autumn 1993 at Wolf Studios, London. Piano on track 5 recorded at Premises Studio. Track 2 recorded live at Bottolph Clayden. Track 6 recorded direct to DAT from MIDI instruments. Another version exists manufactured by WMG Indianapolis instead of Cinram. Other notable differences compared to the WMG pressing can be found on the back of the booklet: - The manufacturer credit is not shown here, and a difference in color can be seen where it has been wiped off. - Credit to Baltimore Typography & Design appears here, whereas it is not present on the WMG pressing.
