Paul James collaboration with TV and ambient/dance music composer Mark Hawkins. 2001.

Paul James - soprano and alto saxophone, border bagpipes, whistle, macedonian flute, organ, percussion, programming. Mark Hawkins - keyboards, guitar, programming, samples.

Paul and Mark come from the central south of England, a rural area where people have lived for thousands of years. The evidence is still there, from the prehistoric figure of the White Horse on the hillside above the village of Uffington to Britain's oldest droving road, the Ridgeway, running along the hilltops. This album is inspired by that.

Music composed and arranged by Paul James & Mark Hawkins and traditional / arranged by Paul James & Mark Hawkins. Produced by Paul James & Mark Hawkins. 2001. Mastering: Adam Skeaping.
