Originally commissioned for an industrial film, this 22-minute bubbling seaside stroll was ultimately rejected by the producers. Hustling to make some cash, Steven Cooper submitted it to Valley of the Sun. Having just returned from a vacation in the Florida Keys, Dick Sutphen was more than happy to release it under a topical theme and ordered another side. The 1986 album stands as one of the more unique titles in the label’s repertoire with it’s prophetic, lo-fi synth humidity foretelling the rise of chillwave.
