Album UK 1998 on Source Research label

Limited to 1000 copies. CD packed in regular jewel case, with a booklet and a set of interchangeable sleeves: red, green & blue. This project is the result of three commissioned sound artists conjuring up what they think the colours red, green and blue sound like. Each artist was free to explore for themselves whatever direction they felt appropriate for their individual colours/pieces. These three compositions where then overlapped to form the 44 minute piece called "RGB". Track durations for each separate colour piece is given on the back cover as approximate overlapping range: 00.00 - 14.50, 13.52 - 29.45 and 29.10 - 44.08.
