Originally released back in 1986, Marine Flowers was first intended to be the soundtrack to a documentary about sea life in Palau, the western Pacific Ocean island nation. Used as part of a campaign to promote the ill-fated laserdisc, yet another format born too early and too late to succeed, one listen to the contents and you quickly realise this music was never going to stay put as a simple TV score or marketing tool.
Skip forward 35 years, and the album is about as sought after as they come - cult status long-since achieved. It's difficult trying to put a finger on exactly what it is, but let's just say this is evocative and deeply moving electronic music presented as a kind of soft rock pop opera. Once heard, never forgotten.
