To borrow an extract from the booklet ...
"The Naked Kiss does not attempt to tell a story but takes a journey through dance into the myths, rituals and everyday experiences of light, plants and air." While this music is associated with dance, it is also very interesting music from a standalone perspective.
THE NAKED KISS - Self Titled
Self Release (Q.U.T Dance North Townsville)
Cat# AAGW 11
1997 (ish)
Australian release
CD case, front cover and rear inlay are all in very good condition
CD media is in very good condition, visually inspected under a bright White halogen light source and I can see just a couple of small extremely light ~ light marks only. I then played the ENTIRE release, every track, and there are no issues with playback at all.
TRACKS: More Than Molecules, Genesis, The Naked Kiss (to dance 'Death Of A Tree'), Recycle, The Suffocating Soul, Breathe In, Persistent Fragrance, Light Plants And Air (to dances 'Resuscitating Light' 'Fragrant Attractors II' And 'A Plant That Kills'), The Naked Kiss - Reprise (to dance 'The Storm'), Asthmatic Waltz
While I would have loved to provide an audio/video clip from this release, I couldn't find anything at Youtube - all hits take me to the film noir The Naked Kiss! (1964)
