Packaged in a gatefold sleeve with the following text on the back cover: "When music and forest meet Richard TINTI travelled to Bornéo and recorded the sound of the forest. When Ariel KALMA listened to it, he could hear his melodies sung by the birds, even sometimes in the very keys he uses… Natural harmony and inspiration seems to flow from the same spring. Then begun the studio work [Mixed at the Groupe of Research in Music (GRM), a department of french National Audiovisual Institute (INA)]; to tune, record, mix the different element together; to the animals and athmosphere [sic] of the jungle, answered generators, flutes, saxophone, bird-calls, synthesizers, organs; thus, two records got produced: - Music and forest (record A) - Forest, synthetic sounds, bird calls (record R) Sometimes it is hard to distinguish what is bird, cricket or generators. Some surprises also occured, like this fly coming down the mikes just that the end of "Planet-Air"… Warning! Record R being an exeptionnaly [sic] long record and the grooves extreme fine, please be careful to use a good stylus not to lift the arm during audition."
