Kites, issued in 1976, was even more ambitious, featuring a host of guest musicians including Fred Frith of Henry Cow and Clodagh Simmons of Mellow Candle.Jade Warrior’s final album for Island Records, Way Of The Sun, was issued in 1978 and was arguably their finest album. An incredibly evocative work, inspired by the mythology of the Incas, the album saw Field and Duhig at the peak of their creative powers.Wind Borne – The Island Albums 1974 – 1978 has been newly remastered from the original master tapes and is a fine collection of truly innovative and beautiful music by Britain’s foremost pioneering progressive rock duo.
