Second solo album from the former guitarist/leader of Uppsala, recorded in 1984. Cauvin is the primary instrumentalist on the album although there is some ocassional guest contributions on synth. The focus is on layers of classical acoustic guitar, electric guitar, synthesizer and Cauvin's voice which is used more as a musical accompaniment than as a lyrical component.
