Floating World

Floating World

Digitally re-mastered reissue of the 1974 debut album for Island Records featuring restored artwork. The duo of guitarist Tony Duhig and virtuoso flautist and woodwind player Jon Field were signed to Island records in 1974, following the recent break up of the four piece Jade Warrior (who recorded three albums for Vertigo Records between 1970-73). Island founder Chris Blackwell signed the duo upon the recommendation of Steve Winwood, declaring Jade Warrior to be "an ornament to my label". Blackwell gave Duhig and Field access to unlimited studio time to create four albums that were later hailed as instrumental masterpieces, all of which fused ethnic African and Far Eastern influences with superbly innovative rock guitar. 10 tracks including 'Fruit And Flowers' and 'Monkey Chant'.
