Great records. An essential trilogy in my opinion.

Thanks. I noticed this release at DG recently. I have the Algonquin album (only) and was wondering if the other 2 albums make this reissue worth acquiring. (I very much enjoy the recent Way Back When release on Cuneiform.)

Looks good!  I have the Deram CD's Clouds and Tales and some sort of official gold CD-R of the first album, but glad to pick this up for the remastering and space savings.  What label is this on?  The design  and concept look like BGO, but I don't see this listed on their upcoming releases on their website.

DG said BGO on their "Coming Soon" page.

Like him in good company, especially with brass; who is his company?
