Vinyl LP pressing includes digital download. 2017 release. There are two sides to Chris Merrick Hughes. There's the notable producer, most famously of Tears For Fears, Adam & The Ants - with whom he also played drums - and many other celebrated names. And there's the occasional composer of modern experimental music such as the sublime piano ruminations of his Eirenic Life.. Six tracks of deep emotional engagement, from brooding to wistful and even a little agitating, Hughes reckons. From a richly expressive 13-minute piece to a 47-second miniature, united by a desire to locate a place of calm and peace.
