This evocative music was originally released in May 1994 and was composed and recorded for the UK television coverage of the Whitbread Around the World Yacht race. The album, Album Name, proved popular among fans and was later reissued in 2010 to include an additional three bonus tracks.

This new Esoteric Recordings edition has been newly remastered and expanded to include a second CD featuring 15 previously unreleased bonus tracks of additional material and alternate mixes. The release also includes an illustrated booklet with a new essay by Jon Dann.
