From posteverything.com :

Derek Jarman was one of England's greatest
cinematique visionairies. Spanning painting, theatre, film,
he comfortably moved between genres, seemingly shape
shifting at will. From designing ballet and theatre in the
sixties for Frederick Ashton and Ken Russell, through to his own films in super-8 and seminal features such as Sebastiane (1976), Jubilee(1978), The Last of England (1987) and Blue (1993), Jarman explored a unique and compelling vision until his death from AIDS in 1994.

Robin Rimbaud was both a friend and collaborator over the years and this CD is his tribute to an important figure in both his life and others. Using recordings of Jarman's voice as well as location recordings around his home, he creates a graceful and delicate sculpture in sound. This is a close friend's tribute, backed by a profound understanding of the filmmaker's sense of intimacy, atmosphere and drama.

"Easily the best and most haunting music I've heard. This is a concerted effort to make art out of, what for many people, is still an entertainment form of music, electronics. Rimbaud's efforts are not only successful, but incredibly moving and expressive. A magical and emotional project, that should be added to any serious music collection." XLR8R

"After just two minutes of this CD, you know you're listening to an album that's bound together by an overall cohesion and energy which makes it difficult to press FFWD, not to mention STOP. This album is a shimmering, precision-science 45 minute slice of ambient homage. 10/10" DJ Magazine

"This music operates a certain unsettling, eerie magic on the listener, sneaking out of the speakers surreptitiously and filling the room like a sudden burst of sunlight. Even those unaware of Jarman's flicks will be moved." NME
