1978 album by Peter Howell and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. It featured six original instrumental compositions including the 19-minute title track which took up the whole of the first side of the record. Much of the music on the album leaned far more towards the prog rock of the 1970s than the previous output by the Radiophonic Workshop. The album stands shoulder to shoulder with Vangelis’s “Beaubourg” and Jean Michel Jarre’s “Equinoxe”, in terms of its influence and pioneering use of synthesizers. The track “The Astronauts” later featured as the B-side to the 1980 single release of Howell’s arrangement of the Doctor Who theme.
