Water Music
The second track on side A of Water Messages on Desert Sand, about two minutes long.
Roberto Musci, from Water Messages on Desert Sand (1987)
It runs 2:05 on both Messages and Portraits and Tower of Silence, where it is side A, track 4; one search listing says 2:03. No track-level credits survive beyond the album's credit to Musci and Venosta. Fond/Sound describes Venosta's playing on it as laconic and nostalgic, and says a child's voice is transformed through a musical gate. A review of Tower of Silence, which we saw only as a search summary, hears horizontal slide guitar over muted, softly malleted, glockenspiel-like instrumentation and rhythmic African singing.
We found no recording date, studio, chart history, video, setlist or covers. The upload we hold could be from the 1987 album or from a compilation, and we cannot tell which.
