About an hour after finishing this album,
I fell asleep and dreamt that I met an old musician friend in my garden,
I invited him in for a drink saying, its a shame we never progressed with what we were doing all those years ago.
We then preceded to create an album together.
After we had finished I walked him back out to the garden saying, I really enjoyed that.
Yes he said, it was Magical

 In memory of Edgar Froese 1944 - 2015

Jolliffe’s music is often a diverse animal, running in ambient fields and fusion pastures. This is an extremely melodic outing from 1997: after a minimalist intro piece, the music is full of popping keyboards, dreamy bubbles and snappy rhythms. The 56-minute CD wraps up with an epic finale enhanced by ricocheting rhythms and punctuated nicely by a piano interlude. The cosmic vacuum stirs with lively electronic riffs, cavorting to the lure of uplifting rhythms. Despite its frequent swells of power, this music is soft, delivering rises and crescendos amidst a very peaceful sonic palate.

Recorded live in Jelenia Gora Poland during Ricochet Gathering EM Festival, September 11, 2004.
Track 1 has excerpt of lost Tangerine Dream music from 1967 with Steve Jolliffe and Edgar Froese on guitar.
This release from 2006 offers 65 minutes of fervent music recorded live in Jelani Gora, Poland, on September 11, 2004.
Having played with such EM greats as Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze, Jolliffe has enjoyed a long solo career producing albums of delightful electronic music for nearly two decades. This latest shows him alone on stage, armed with piano, keyboards, flute, and an extraordinary predilection for nimble creativity.
Dramatic piano passages establish a strange cafe milieu that becomes even stranger as eerie electronics enter the mix. Dark textures coalesce, immersing the stage in a fertile fog that sparkles with effects and sporadic strings and other instruments. Eventually, twinkling piano asserts dominance over these peripheral embellishments, guiding the miasma into a more orderly flow. And gradually, the auxiliary samples adopt melodic demeanor and compliment Jolliffe's live performance, lending snappy rhythms and sighing tonalities to the easygoing piano.
Live flute and electronic urgency often appear in tandem. The accompanying electronics surge with bouncy, dark energy, while the frolicsome flute cavorts with passionate abandon. Before any outbursts have the opportunity to become too boisterous, Jolliffe reigns them with nimble-fingered piano, generating foundational drama that reaches out and grips the soul with classical eloquence.
The CD features three long tracks, allowing each composition ample room to grow and flex and indulge in mischievous variations.
The first track utilizes a sound excerpt of Edgar (Tangerine Dream) Froese guitar from 1967.
