...entirely from the ground, he dragged her lovingly back to the bedroom. She awoke, and they prayed once more. And then again. And then a third time.It was just then that Felicity, pacing in an agitated manner down the manor’s various halls and passageways, heard thin strains of what she now knew to be Frederick and Roxanna’s post-coital hymning. Like idiots, they had taken to opening King James at random, allowing Godly inspiration to guide their melodicizing. “Of the children of God, by their generations / after their families...

Because of Takoma’s relatively limited financial clout and semi-dormant status in the wake of Fahey’s death, this album remains nearly impossible to find, but what thin documentation exists indicates that it’s one (if only one) highlight of both careers.
