Mike ("M") Griffin is the founder of Hypnos records, as well as one-half of the electronic duo Viridian Sun (e.g., Perihelion,Solar Noise). He describes himself as "a visual artist and writer who inexplicably came under the spell of the notion he should record the noises he makes with electronic instruments and tape machines."
For this album, Griffin teamed up with LA-centered Trance composer/artist "A Produce" (Barry Craig) to produce this album over an 18-month period and release it in 1999. (Both had gone several years without releasing a full-length album.) Interestingly, neither artist met each other face-to-face during the recording process.
The album begins with four shorter pieces, and concludes with a 36-minute track, "You Send Me the Message." The album is ambient, minimalist, droning, slowly-evolving, spacious, and excellent.
