This "lost" album was recorded in 1979 in just three days during the "EVE" sessions.
It was never intended for release, but as a "power play" in APP's negotiations with their record company,
and were handed over to Arista on 5 March 1981 "to satisfy contractual obligations" (http://www.roadkill.com/~ajy/scrapbook/001.html).
The music is instrumental and features a relatively pleasant piano.

April ca 1985 | US soundtrack 7" | Andrew Powell: Theme from Ladyhawke |
Theme from Ladyhawke 3.38 / Search for Phillipe 3.25 (Atlantic 7-89563)
Recorded in 1984, my guess is in the summer, after VULTURE CULTURE (which was recorded May-June 1984) and before the recordings started for STEREOTOMY in Oct 1984.
The movie premiered in Europe in late March 1985, and in USA in mid-April.
Composed by Andrew Powell, produced by Alan Parsons. The 'APP' style tracks performed by the 'standard APP musicians line-up' of Ian Bairnson, Stuart Elliott and David Paton.
