Post Description

Janus lay moribund for a couple of years after "Innocence", but Orr (with assistance from Sandy Bartai) continued to make music, some of which was released as library music, and which ended up on TV backgrounds all around the world. The next Janus album showed an introspective, pure instrumental style, which incorporated some of the strong melody the band has always produced, but which concentrated on atmosphere. During the making of the album, Orr noticed another "Janus" had appeared on the west coast of the USA, with two tremendous musicians, Barry Hall and Richard Smith (they play lots of instruments, but specialize in Violin and Percussion respectively) so naturally the two bands collaborated on the production of a track on the new album.
