Due to continuing demand for this, their first ever release, the group decided to re-release it as a souvenir to mark their fifteen (and three-quarterth!) anniversary. Complete with downloadable sleeve notes giving a potted history of the band and its chequered career, this infectious medieval dance music will take you on a toe-tapping tour round the European musical scene at a time when popular music was still a good deal more sophisticated than dentistry.

"This disc is a smile a minute. Delights abound in this fantastic trip through the late medieval and early renaissance. Superb ensemble playing from this fine group."
Kevin Sutton - MusicWeb Recordings of the Year 2005
