Notes

Sentinels of the Arctic - synthesizer, field recordings, mixing engineer, mastering engineer
Ian Martyn - vocals, Irish bouzouki, tin whistle, low whistle, sistrum, bendir

A remembrance of a time when great rulers forged war and friendship over great distance, wise seas, and high mountains. A time when great peoples emerged and fell, were reborn, and forgotten.

A remembrance that life is brief, but the legend is eternal. While you live, shine.

The Album artwork is of two very similar crowns, one found in Sweden, the other in Hungary. A testament of widespread exchange, trade, and travel.
