This album is a great artifact for all '60s and '70s music collectors, original copies in good condition change hands for about 500 U.S. dollars. The spirit of the music is a tasty combination between aggressive fuzz-garage-hard rock and atmospheric psych-folk with moody vocals and a poetic message, comparable to World In Sound's legendary Phantasia or Dr. Hooker. In between perfectly arranged songs like 'You Don't Walk On My Street,' 'I Remember' and the psych-trip 'Sleepers,' you'll hear weird spoken word themes as 'Guatamalan Strange,' 'Electronic Silver' and heavy-riff instrumentals.

This was the debut release by Michael James, who is still active in the music business with his own label, Empath Records, and the groups Children of the Risk, Michael Yonkers and Mounting Santa feat. Dr. Fink of Prince's Revolution, which are 4 bonus tracks on this release. The album 'Runaway World' was recorded and produced extremely well. This CD-reissue is produced from the original analog master tapes with a 12 p. booklet and 5 bonus tracks, almost 70 minutes playing time. So, look forward to this great album by 'a unique rock artist like none you've heard!
