'Sounding the ritual Echo' was recorded in the privacy of my own home on broken or faulty tape machines and speakers, each track possessing its own technological deformity. For this I offer no apology as the music owes its existence to a very personal and selfish obsession. As a direct result, some pieces will require a little patience. This album, originally released as a limited edition in 1981, was the first in a series of purely instrumental albums issued by Cocteau Records from the archives of the Echo Observatory.
