"As you know , 3/4 of Van Der Graaf established LH to explore and emhasize insrumental music to its endless possibilites .there are 6 releases , each led by a different member : mysterious and innovative guy evans , sensitive david jackson and nic potter to name a few .unfortunately they are SO rare , and I am still looking for LH nos 2,5 and 6 to no avail .this one is the most classic , with long , "chrystalized" , mature instrumental.most charming is "I lost my cat".
this is the right LP for long , rainy mornings , near the fire with a good book and chocolate drink .I have only praises to LH and wish we had more of their sensitive and very fine , unique touch .LH no.3 is by david jackson , and has some miraculous moments LH no. 4 is by guy evans , for the percussion oriented listeners among you - with lots of flutes , assorted percussion which move faster than sound.many short pieces."
