I think I read the opium explanation in the liner notes of a double LP
in the 70's or early 80's. Performes were - if memory serves - English,
I guess of David Monroe's circles. And yeah: the music in that recording
was really avant-garde! As I guess, was all the life in the court of
the Pope of Avignon...
Perhaps somebody remembers more?
