2008 mastering note: We have sought to maintain the integrity of the original 1990 release, using Don Bartley’s master with minimal digital processing (slight noise reduction throughout and high pass filtering on tracks 4 & 5).
This is also why we haven’t included any bonus tracks.
Perfect as is!

NDW's music was haunting, evocative, brooding, sensuous and a million other words that excite people who type for a living. In record stores, you could usually find NDW filed under ambient or art-rock, ill-fitting labels if ever there were. Though they were often minimalist, they never made background music. Arty by comparison to other acts of the era, but they knocked out some glorious pop tunes.
