Enclosure, upon its completion, was the record which represented the achievement of all the musical goals I had been aiming at for the previous 5 years. It was recorded simultaneously with Black Knights' Medieval Chamber, and as different as the two albums appear to be, they represent one investigative creative thought process.

Indeed, the effect of this diffusion is to spread the culture of the mediocre.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
