    Funny that Kirchin released two completely different records with the same title! This one being by far the more interesting and listenable one to me. Great unusual soundscapes, nearly like an anticipation of industrial music! (While the first one from 1971 isn't much more than two sides of stressful saxophone noodling to my ears!)

      I wish someone would reissue this. Trunk Records maybe? They've done a couple nice Kirchin releases already.

          Absolute masterpiece. The title says all : worlds within worlds, amazing sound scape, to be looped.

            London c.1978 I you could pick up copies of this for 50p from Honest Jons. They had multiple copies and they were all 50p. Those were the days... sigh.
