"The compositional style of these three pieces is the result of the work with the improvisation group F&W Hat. This was formed in 1972 at the University of York by Jan Steele, pianist Dave Jones and flautist Mike Dean. The group was directed towards playing a very quiet, repetitive form of improvised rock-based music, a principle which has to some extent survived in these compositions” (zit. nach Plattencover)
"Produced by Brian Eno for his own Obscure labels, this hath charms to soothe the aging punk. It's rock only by association - Steele is aided by a "very quiet, repetitive" rock-improvisation ensemble called F & W Hat, while Cage makes use of the voice of the pataphysical Robert Wyatt" (zit. nach http://www.robertchristgau.com/get_album.php?id=7872).
