- An Evening Of Contemporary Sitar Music
The LP (fright 042), released simultaneously, adds:
- Ecstasy In Slow Motion
This is a version of Ecstasy Symphony, cut so that it plays from the label outwards. The main track on the LP runs for just under half an hour, compared to the CD where it runs for just under three quarters of an hour.
Reissued on Sympathy For The Record Industry, November 1993, on CD only (SFRTI 211).
- An Evening Of Contemporary Sitar Music

Other Information
Recorded at Waterman’s Art Centre, Hammersmith, London, 19.8.1988.
As Will Carruthers recounts in his book Playing The Bass With Three Left Hands, he only realised at the end of the night that his amp wasn’t switched on.
The original Fierce issue followed the release of a part of the Watermans performance on a flexi on the Cheree label. The legality of the Fierce version was debated at the time (see below) – “semi-legitimate” is probably the best description. With the Space Age reissue, it became part of the official canon.
