Sounds of Nowhere, a record that came “Compliments of Halcyon Days Hotel on St. Lucia, W.I. - It’s in the middle of nowhere.” To my great disappointment, after picking this record up at a thrift store, I discovered that it has the wrong album tucked inside - one of those damn Environments records of ocean sounds. I can find no information about this Sounds of Nowhere record online and now I fear that I’ll just never get to hear what nowhere sounds like. Fuck! The album cover design is exactly the same on both sides and the blank spine contains no other information. A vinyl mystery.
