Nights

Tape comes in a 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inch cardbox with a colour xeroxed sticker covering the front and wrapped around the one edge to form a hinge/spine. The spine has the release information on it. It includes 3 black and white insert notes. Side A: Trumpet and percussion sounds were recorded separately in a large stairwell. The Prophet parts were added later in their studio and the whole piece was remixed at Crystal Clear Studios. Side B: Water and night sounds were recorded separately in private gardens. The violins have been processed and slowed down, and the remaining sounds are synthetic. The piece was mixed in mono from 4 track, 2 track and synthesizer at Afterdinner Studios. It was recorded initially for an installation at the George Paton Gallery in October 1982.
