INSPIRATION INFORMATION / WING

All of 'wings of love' has a slightly woozy, trippy feel, something characteristic of its one-man-band origin, where keyboards & compressed microphones create a hazy tapestry, & part of the appeal of this music is how it feels like the late '70s & early '80s without belonging to its time; it certainly doesn't feel modern, but it can't be pinned to any specific year, which is appropriate as Otis essentially dropped out of sight & made this music in a vacuum. It's the sound an eccentric who was able to run wild for years on end, never caring about whether his music would be heard. The psych-soul masterpiece 'inspiration information' comes expanded with 4 previously unreleased bonus tracks.
