Howell had just joined the BBC (where he would later work on the Doctor Who theme), and inspired by the Moody Blues, conceived a prog-rock project exploring life's grander themes, with Ferdinando handling producer duties.The Ithaca album opens with the sound of pages turning, and follows a journey through a cycle of questions, times, feelings, and dreams. Beautiful interwoven songs with nice tape experiments and added sounds in a pastoral prog psych vein, made all the better by the fragile female vocals on offer from Lee Menelaus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the original quarter inch master tapes -- with the addition of three previously unreleased bonus tracks cause for much additional rejoicing!
