"...John and I had long talked about a project involving Satie’s music. Would it require an orchestra or could we use the full tonal range of our own two favoured instruments to create a sound canvas worthy of the keyboard-based writing? Either way it would be a return to our musical roots when we first became aware of ‘Atmospheric’ music, brave enough to remain rhythmically static yet all the more poignant precisely because of that ‘held-back’ quality. There always was a love of music in the family home but not specifically the ‘Classical’ tradition - I’d say we found our way to this music ourselves without being pushed. For us, Satie was definitely a man ahead of his time. Unlikely modulations abound and the Minimalists were to take from him as would Jazz, and where would ‘Ambient’ music be without his example?

I can’t fully describe my delight and joy that the sessions went so well and that the album, long overdue, is now complete. I may be sticking my neck out here but I don’t believe John has ever sounded in finer form, he was obviously born to play Satie - as I am sure you’ll agree!

Camino tracks are standard MP3 files that are compatible with all computers, ipods and MP3 players (unlike AAC format (with Fairplay DRM) offered on iTunes or Microsoft’s WMA format)

The files will appear as a zip archive (wildorchidsse.zip) - please unzip and then place the mp3 files in your desired location on your computer.

Unlike other services, Camino does not require you to install any proprietary software.

Camino MP3 tracks are very high quality, encoded with the renowned codec LAME using the 192 Bit Rate setting. The LAME encoder is widely acknowledged to give the best sound quality while maintaining manageable file sizes.

Finally, Camino files have no ‘DRM’ or copy protection built in. We believe that most people like to be treated as customers and not potential criminals - DRM is easily circumvented and just puts obstacles in the way of enjoying music.

Buying music through Camino rather than illegal networks means that you are supporting the artists, and you are getting music encoded by the artists themselves. All your purchased files are correctly tagged and labelled with as much information as possible, and are the real deal! Unlike the huge amount of fakes on the illegal networks.
