"The Last Ten Minutes may (1) refer to the fly with its head trapped in the vortex, pictured on the front cover, (2) depict an apocalypse in which case 'Grand Finale' (side 1, band 2) should be retitled 'Disquiet at the Council of Trenton', or (3) represent the last ten minutes (in the mundane sense) of anybody the listener knows, described either (a) inappropriately or (b) with an obscuring plethora of detail.
The synthesizer mediates among sounds which parallel, without imitating, those of the guitar and sometimes multiphonic flute, sounds of purely electro-mechanical nature, and keyboard-related sonorities.
In 'Grand Finale', the three keyboards sometimes behave as one multi-stopped instrument, sometimes quarrell.
In 'Conclusion', the keys of the processed Kalimba (African thumb-piano) are most-often snapped upside-down.
In all three pieces, discourses are frequently polyrhythmic and often disruptive. All ratios are intentional, no matter how irrationally described mathematically. The harmonies, while quite chromatic, combine in the spirit of harmolodic improvisation. From time to time, they allude to modes, while avoiding their syntax.
Both group improvisations on side one were accomplished in a single sitting, while side two discreetly adds overtracks as it progresses." – Robert Aaron

Privately released in 1983 on the private label Discos Alebrije in Mexico, this self-titled album by Fernando Toussaint shows a unique and little known part of music history. All compositions are originals by Toussaint with him playing up to 6 instruments on some, ranging from leftfield prog-y funk with synth solos to breezy vocals and latin percussion. For all the footwork heads, there's also a DJ Rashad sample hiding on 'Si Perdiera La Vida'.
Elena Jordan – vocals, guitar, trumpet, TR-909 drum programming, JX-3P synthesizer, JX-8P synthesizer, programming, harmonica, percussion, Fender Rhodes
