Liner Notes

This was the first album to be released on the very short lived label Define Every Inch The Mile One Seeks.  The website defineeveryinchthemileoneseeks.com is long defunct.  TIt was another attempt by Omar to run his own label as Gold Standard Laboratories had shuttered around the same time. 

This is another release in the Amsterdam series.  

“A horn driven album that shows how emotional and intense instrumental music can be, combining the absurd with melancholy.” – Clouds Hill
