  2. this is excellent, thanks for posting.

    technically wouldn't the group be Three Motions (Fields, Novotny, Malli)?

  3. Wow this is a great share as Clifford has pointed out. Thank you!

    BTW - yes this release / group should be named as Three Motions. But apparently the musicians didn't care too much.

  4. At least the added picture is from a CD. It has a SPARS code with AAD.

    I am glad is appreciated, more RAU coming in the next days

  9. Thankyou corvimax - an interesting release!
    It is sad if - as correct silence mentioned on another post - Paul Fields passed away mid-pandemic, Novembet last year. His website is still up - I'd never seen it before, and did not know that he was into natural healing, vibrational therapies and was also a conjurer!

    Do we take it that it is likely Novotny playing (what sounds like) a small wooden flute during the opening Part 1 - he then seems to run through an effect to double-track it in Psrt 2 ?
