| background |
| at
the time | After
the hard work to sound varied and lively on his debut, Christo wanted to make
a more laid back album with a mellow atmosphere throughout.
He chose to
do it with his Talking Fish trio and focus on their excellent harmonies. He had
a lot of new songs to bring to the album.
This also marked the time CC
worked with Vikki Clayton - he had just assited with her demos for her Movers
& Shakers album and plucked up courage to asked her to sing on this album.
He went on to join her band. It was at this time he started touring Germany. |

The Music Kitchen was across the park from CCs house - 8 track reel-to-reel -
7 of the tracks were recorded pretty much live, others layering over midi pre-production

fave track |
Coming In To Land | | retrospect | A
very warm feeling album. The presence of Vikki Clayton on the album at a time
when she hadn't had a release for a while did wonders for sales, especially when
he played gigs with her.
He also realised after making this album how
many tracks were to do with journeys and distances - something he puts down to
moving home a lot as a child. | |
