Release Info

I originally self released the title track of this album in summer 2009, but never really knew what to do with it, once I’d removed it from the track list of “the more I look the less I see”. After some discussions with Geoff Small (who has literally badgered me about sorting this out for nearly 2 years), Steve Brand, and John Koch-Northrup at rM, they finally persuaded me to include it in this 3 track collection.

I’ve always considered landfall to be a part of a journey, not the final part, or the start, just  a part of it, so both the other 2 tracks included here are a part of that same journey. Not now. Not then. Just sometime, somewhere, someplace.

I would like to add my heartfelt thanks and deepest gratitude to all at Relaxed Machinery for their unwavering and magnificent support of my work over the last few years, and I would most especially like to thank Ann Schmitz for contributing some of her stunningly beautiful photographs especially for this project.

Peter James – April 2012
