Retrospect
There
was an initial disappointment that the wilder free jazz tracks hadn't recorded
so well but on closer inspection the ambient tracks sounded so amazing that an
album had to be released to include them.
It happened to be Chris Conway's
40th CD so it was decided to make it a free download album to celebrate.
