This is my second CD. It originally started life as a poem that would'nt go away. It gave me ideas for song themes, which I hope reflect the sentiment of the poem. I have included the poem in full within the sleeve notes of the CD booklet. Work on this CD began in 1997, soon after the completion of "Still Yearning". A number of factors came into play to delay its completion. These include switching from a cassette 4-track to a PC (a nightmare which took 6 months! A combination of my incompetence and bad luck), changing jobs, moving house and becoming a father.

Recorded June '97 to December 2000. Very special thanks to Simon Wilkins for guitar on Diamondback. Thanks also to Richard Jackson for Penny whistle on Of Ages,

Equipment: Roland Juno 6, Roland JP 8000, Casio CT-470, Boss RPS-10 digital delay, Boss RRV-10 digital reverb, Boss BF-2 flanger, Zoom 1204 effects, Aphex 104 Aural Exciter, Fostex XR-5 multitracker, PC running Cakewalk Pro Audio 8 and Soundforge, Various DirectX plug-ins, old and tired short-wave radio, video recorder, and explorers near & far (its just a matter of perception).

Thanks to Simon Perkins for support & feedback.

This CD is dedicated to my Mum & Dad, for allowing me to be me, thankyou, and to Daniel, who arrived on 22nd August 1998.
