From memory (hearing it a few times maybe 20 years ago), this was nice background music that wasn’t really worth a proper listen. On reflection, pretty much the same. There’s more going on sonically than I gave it credit for, hence a 3 star review rather than 2, but I wouldn’t go back and listen again.
