background
Dave
Everitt and Chris Conway had been working together in The
Rain Garden and decided to record an album together, mostly
melodic improvising.
2 tracks in Dave's neighour Dan Britton arrived (they worked
together in a songs band called The Horse Thieves). He joined
in and the album was finished late that night.
Not long after this Chris would join the Horse Thieves which
then became The Storm Thieves.

trivia
"Dwellers
in the Mirage" was taken from the title of a book by
A Merritt that Chris was reading at the time. Several titles
were taken randomly from this book. "Leaf Storm"
was taken randomly from books on Daves bookshelf.
This album marks the first time Chris & Dan met.
Solaris Revisited - Solaris was the name of a Chris's
jazz quartet that Dave also played in.
Another version of The Inside World can be heard
on Chris Conway's Happy Landings album Think
Blue, Count Two
The album was recorded in a day.
The cover art is by Sally Wilson, a friend of the band also
did the cover art to The Strom Thieves albums.
