The original was released in a limited run by Minneapolis label TAIGA RECORDS; some seven years later (and ten years on from when the composition was completed), English returned to Antarctica and remixed and remastered the work for this reissue! These are precious field recordings captured by LAWRENCE ENGLISH during a summer 2010 Antarctic expedition, when bad weather stranded him far longer than planned. Drones of the base's interior resonating under blizzards, the sound of fallen trees and objects colliding in the wind — sounds that conjure the "wind" for the listener almost visually. That desolate sound tells of just how severe the environment was. A precious recording that could only have been completed under Antarctica's harsh conditions. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
