Notes: This is an early music-influenced album inspired by JRR Tolkien's writings. Anderson and Knowles had submitted some of the material to the makers of the "Lords of the Rings" films, but were not picked up. The material then laid without a release. Seeing this described on my news page, Daniel Earnshaw put Voiceprint in the frame and a release was agreed. (HP, 20 May 07)
