Notes On The Recordings: We used two Electro-Crystal Therapy sound generator units and the following crystals: a 6" synthetic quartz, a 7" flat cluster quartz, a 6" stick quartz, an 8" Madagascar quartz and a cluster of Tourmaline crystals held in a saline solution in a test tube. These were laid on the ECT units in varying combinations and special frequencies pulsed into them. The resulting sounds were then recorded. it is emphasized that the crystals themselves were the sole source of all sounds you hear on this recording. Tracks 1, 3, 5, 10 and 11 were mixed and produced by Ken Thomas from crystal sounds supplied by the ECT units. Track 6 was mixed and produced by HÖH from the same sources. All other tracks are pure crystal sounds unaffected by any manipulation, though interference between the crystal's frequencies results in spontaneous and natural harmonics. HÖH and myself dedicate this project to the soul of Noriko Hada. May she rest in joy. "She was not born and neither can she die." The Fractals were programmed and created by John Catchpole at Warwick University, to whom our thanks are due. Cover layout at Hex Designs. This also came as a limited edition version with a piece of quartz crystal stuck to the front of the CD case. The insert was signed by Harry Oldfield and David Tibet. Made in England.
