About
From Gardens Where We Feel Secure is the title of the first Virginia Astley album issued on her own Happy Valley label and distributed by Rough Trade Record. The album was released in July 1983 and peaked at number 4 in the UK Indie Chart. The album was trailed by a couple of its tracks A Summer Long Since Past and It's Too Hot to Sleep, which were included on the 12" of the earlier single Love's a Lonely Place to be. The album is an instrumental collection of tone poems that describe the cycle and mirror the moods of an indolent summer day. The album began life as a series of demos produced by John Foxx at the Crépuscule studio, where he was working at the time. The album is notable for its structure, moving from dawn to dusk, and its use of natural, sound effect. In 1986, Astley and Ryuichi Sakamoto re-recorded A Summer Long Since Past, re-naming it A Summer Long Since Passed and including it in her 1986 album Hope in a Darkened Heart. From Garden... was re-mastered and re-released by Rough Trade as a CD in 2003. Critical Reaction The album was praised by critic. Stewart Mason, writing for Allmusic, stated: .
