"This was actually the 20th anniversary album of the Westbrook Trio and originally released in 2002 and was produced by Jon Hiseman.
Conceived by Kate Westbrook and developed collectively by the trio, and was described by Clive Davis of the Sunday Times as “think of Kurt Weill crossed with J.G Ballard at his most dreamlike and you have some idea of this imaginary multi lingual odyssey”.
This is a wonderful album full of evocative images of the trio’s tales and travels of various languages as they make their way across the globe. It’s hard to believe that just three people can create such a variety of sounds."
