The main titles were written in a very fast 7/8, which hardly endeared us to the musicians! Nigel and I went off to separate rooms, and when we met up again to compare notes, our two ideas seemed to compliment each other, so we joined them together. The piece was arranged in the same way.. "Hey Nige', what note do you want me to end my 1st Violins on?"

Featured instrumentalists are James Mainwaring on Alto Flute, and Ian ("yeah 7/8 can groove quite nicely!") Williams on drums.

The incidental piece 'Fog', uses the same principal themes, but transposed, echoed, and reverbed to the Arctic; which is, incidentally where John Ridgemoor was at the time!    Al Steele
