What's Under the Bed?

I bought this cassette many yarens ago.  Lotsa fun.  The only way the music could be improved (in my judgement) is if the mic didn't pick up the artist's scat vocalizations.

02. Late Last Night (5:23)
03. The Phoenix (4:32)
04. Heartfire (4:07)

08. All Through the Night (2:42)
09. It's About Time (4:28)
10. The Emerald Pool (1:40)
11. Under the Bed (4:16)

On the Rise 

When you drift back to Earth, stop by on Thursday for more intriguing soundwaves.
