J. Ralph, “The Illusionary Movements of Geraldine and Nazu” 2005, featuring “One Million Miles Away”

I got the #CD but never figured out how to navigate to it and get it to play.

I am nothing if not persistent. Some years later I connected the SPY moniker to producer/composer J. Ralph and found “One Million Miles Away” as a listed, conventionally playable track on “The Illusionary Movements…” Sigh of relief.
