The lineup for Prolusion by Left Orbit Temple includes: James Teitelbaum (keyboards for Evil Clowns, Flat Earth Society, and Pigface, plus tech crew for bands as diverse as Ministry and Royal Crown Revue) on synthesizers, samplers, Tibetan singing bowls, wood flute, ocarina, and various sundry odd noises.

Contrary to its pedigree, the music is not rock oriented, and is best described as an ambient-tribal-electronic hybrid that might appeal to fans of: Brian Eno, Laurie Anderson, folk music of Bali, Tibet, Africa, and Japan, Dead Can Dance, David Sylvian, This Mortal Coil, or Martin Denny. The use of guitars is kept to a minumum, and there are no snare drums (real or electronic) on the entire recording.
The single disc that comprises ‘Prolusion’ can be HEARD on any CD player, and VIEWED on any computer with a CD-ROM drive.
