Music inspired by Harry's father Henry Williamson's famous novel, 'Tarka the Otter'

Harry and his long-time friend Anthony Phillips (Genesis), collaborated on this suite of pieces throughout the late 80's, inspired by the work of Harry's father and the North Devon landscape he wrote about. Classically beautiful it evokes it perfectly. Features many guest musicians including Gong's Didier Malherbe and members of the London Philharmonic and National Orchestras.

This new Blueprint issue (originally released in Australia in 1996 I think) has a new cover, been re-edited and features some additional music.

Each to his own snow dog- I loved the book! The title above looks interesting. Keep us posted when you hear it BaldFriede

Honestly, one of the dullest books I ever read! Looks like a dull album too...

I reckon you could post that comment in just about every thread here,Rick!

Well, but there's a polish woman in the lineup... So it must suck!

Well I cannot know anything...

And I know enough...

I want to get outta here! I wanna live in Scotland! Love it there!!! (and there's a strong chance I will live there, so why be a patriot?)

Have just berated others on a keyboard thread for not looking/listening beyond the obvious suspects, I thought I better put my money where my mouth is, and just ordered some more  Johansson bros material:

JOHANSSON: the last viking

BENNY JANSSON: flume ride

JOHANSSON: the j:son brothers + sonic winter

It was intended as a joke, that you could post that anywhere, because you know nothing of the topic. It failed as yuo didn't understand! BTW why post in a topic if you know nothing????????? Irritating that is! Some people will do anything to get their post count up! Otters rule! Down with otters! Badgers are tops!

No way, badgers are sh*t at swimming.
