| Notes |
| This was an album I never wanted to do. In truth at the time I desperately needed the money. Times were really difficult and sales of my albums had hit rock bottom. I was offered £5,000 to make a "new age" piano album and so I went for some long walks in the country and came up with the music. I recorded it over two days at a cost of £2,000 and kept the balance to pay off some very pressing bills. Overall, the music turned out to be pretty half decent and I enjoyed the experience of making a solo piano album. |
| Wakey's Verdict |
| The first of the "piano" albums, so collectable if you can find the original. |
| Little Known Trivia |
| The only real live performance of the album actually took place in Japan and a bootleg recording actually exists of part of the show....and I have it. |
