A genuine
'one-off', with a dizzying range of work, Ron Geesin's name will
be familiar to many rock fans through his collaboration with Pink Floyd.
Geesin worked with the band on their 'Atom Heart Mother' LP, co-writing
the side-long title track of that record.
One of Britain's leading avant-garde composers and performers, Geesin
began his musical career in 1962, as a member of a jazz band, and is
still going strong today, working on new projects into 2008.
This double CD, compiled and re-mastered by Ron Geesin himself, features
a comprehensive collection of his BBC radio session recordings, most of
which have never been released before now.
The accompanying 12 page CD booklet features extensive liner notes by
Ron Geesin, along with his comments and recollections of each session
and rare photographs from his own archive.
