This six-track sequence is a journey through the enchanting and sometimes haunting world of lunar imagery, featuring tracks like "Lady Weeping at the Crossroads" and "Orpheus."
Throughout the album, Geoffrey Burgon's compositions demonstrate a remarkable range, from the deeply spiritual to the profoundly personal, and from the lyrically beautiful to the atmospherically rich.
