Notes

"This album was inspired by the life and works of Antonio Gaudi (1852-1926), a Catalan architect whose grand conception, The Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Barcelona, involves a construction timetable which will run for hundreds of years. He is buried in the crypt of his unfinished masterpiece."

Recorded 48 track on Sony 3324 Digital recorders and mixed via an Amek Angela automated console to a Sony 1630 System digital master.
Recorded at "The Grange" and at Mayfair Studios, England between October 1985 and August 1986.
