about

Echo System was comprised of Daniel Crommie and Jamie Haggerty, who recorded four albums between 1986 and 1988 - all released originally only on cassette. This collection includes ambient/instrumental tracks from "In a Strange World" (1987) and "Heat Lightning" (1990), plus a couple of previously unreleased pieces from the same sessions. Much of this material was recorded live to digital stereo with no overdubs.
