Edgar Froese, Paul Haslinger and early group member Chris Franke are joined by singer Jocelyn Bernadette Smith for this album, which is somewhat of a departure from the pattern set by their three previous releases, "Optical Race", "Lily on the Beach" and "Melrose". Many of the tracks revolve around the sung and narrated poems of William Blake (1757-1827). Smith performs "The Tyger" (as in: "Tyger, Tyger, burning bright / In the forests of the night..."), "London", "The Fly", "The Smile" and an exerpt from "America". All in all, one of the favourite TD albums. In style and sound, it's probably closest to `Livemiles' and `Shy People'. Don't let the vocals put you off -- it's a real TD album, and a good one at that.
Composed, arranged and performed by Froese, Franke, Haslinger.
Lead vocals by Jocelyn Bernadette Smith.
