The ArtSound recordings did not provide details of
tracks.

this program. The featured album was

The featured album was "989" by
XIM (Cube Roots). The totally perplexing name
of the band, the album and the label, as well as the
enigmatic album sleeve 'notes', should not deter the
adventurous. The band members play melodeon, hurdy
gurdy, flutes, bagpipes and persussion. All
original instrumentals and all fascinating - nearly a
traditional style ... but not quite. You might have to
