Notes

Comes in cardboard gatefold sleeve with OBI, Japanese lyric insert & a bonus track.

Recorded at the Greenhouse in Reykjavik.

Dawn McCarthy wrote her lines in "Then The Letting Go" and constructed her arrangements.
"The Seedling" owes its name to Thomas Campbell's movie.
"God's Small Song" owes its existence to the music of Baby Dee.

"This is the Hour of Lead--
Remembered, if outlived,
As Freezing persons, recollect the Snow--
First--Chill--then Stupor--then the letting go--"

"Ebb Tide" is not mentioned in the albums tracklisting or credits.

"Signifying Wolf" is a bonus track for Japanese release not mentioned on tracklist but on credits. Previously released on "Cursed Sleep" 12"/CDs.
