Pete and Bob’s side-project, that as a side-effect broke up the ‘golden age’ lineup.
Our desire for variety, though Lord knows we'd had plenty, spurred a dispute that ended with Bob and Pete leaving the band to work in a project dear to their hearts.
See notes on Storm Form Ten for more details.
This album is also notable for the stunning cover by Jimmy Cauty. Gorgeous cover art had been a standard from the earliest Steeleye Span albums. For their project, Pete and Bob enlisted the young artist who had created popular Lord of the Rings and Hobbit posters for Athena.
