Guests include Victor Herrero (who appeared on "ANDA JALEO / PERLAS") lending faint, exotic Spanish guitar tones, and Paz, the lone woman of The Entrance Band (who played Fuji Rock), bringing violin, Native American flute, and choral parts with a warm sense of space. It's the dream left over after passing through alternative, noise/junk, and the '90s and '00s.
