TRACKS

1/ The Valentines - a sea shanty - a tale of two travellers: Al Hughes - Bass Guitar, Pete Wingate - Whistle, Nick Gibbs - Drums, Andy Casserly - Accordian, Gemma Robinson - Backing Vocals

2/ They Dance - Johnny Miller - Bass

4/ That Dangerous Sparkle - Johnny Miller - Bass

5/ She Comes - Beebe - Soprano Saxophone, Dorothée Hausser - Voix Françoise, Johnny Miller - Bass

6/ When You're Lying

7/ Risky Business - when you hear that Scardanelli spent over two weeks searching for the "perfect reverb" for the Sax solo on this song, you'll understand why it took 18 months to complete the album! So who played on this epic track? Mikov hit the drums very very hard indeed, and Johnny Miller thumped a most musical Bass guitar. Beebe then added his inimitable screaming Soprano Saxophone.

8/ It's Only Life - Inspired by real-life scullduggery and venomous enemies trying to have a pop at Scardanelli, revenge is indeed a dish best served ice cold...with Mikov on drums and Johnny Miller on Bass.

9/ Take Your Hand Away

All other instruments played by Simon Scardanelli - acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards and synthesisers, treble recorder, harmonium, drum programming and acousmatic sonic treatments.
