Kranky reissues two sold-out limited release CDs. Each disc has two long pieces of typically gorgeous W&C guitar/keyboard ambience. Windy explains the origins of the pieces in her lengthy, heartfelt album notes. Disc 1 “The Dream House” has an uplifting sound and is meant as an appreciation of love, beauty, longing, and loss. Disc 2 “Dedications To Flea” is a tribute to W&C’s dear departed longtime canine companion. Floaty music accompanies recordings of Flea the dog moving around, lapping water, panting, scratching. Carl’s guitar dominates Track 1, and the tenacious spirit of Flea himself is all over Track 2.
