Recorded in Panavision at Trident Studios, London December 1976/January 1977, and mixed at Morgan Studios, London, February 1977 where the curtains are drawn, but the rest of the furniture is real.
The Sanskrit lyrics on track 1 mean:
"Sun in the night, Everyone is together,
Ascending into the heavens, Life is forever."
track 2 was recorded "live" in the studio - there are no overdubs.

Style is Progressive Jazz, which is not a catagory.
Also, there are repeated typos on the CD, which intermittantly mispell 'Moroccan' as 'Morrocan'. These typos appear on the front and back covers, but do not appear on the side of the CD or the actual CD label.
