Terra Familiar by mikrokosmos
For CD copies of this record please email: helena.springs@mac.com
The third and final archive mikrokosmos album explores the themes of family, secrets and lies. The unstable ground we call home and the labyrinthine mind.
These songs represent the last but by no means least of the early 1990s 'lost' Corridor recordings and a clutch of later compositions written in 2001.
