Art, Words & Music, including the classic Skull Orchard CD, remixed with a full Welsh male voice choir<\/h2>\n

\"\"Nashville Radio, Jon Langford\u2019s first collection of paintings, writing, and music, summed up two decades\u2019 work as an artist and musician. For its successor, Langford has created a highly personal portrait of the South Wales he grew up in and left. The starting point was his long unobtainable album Skull Orchard. For the CD available exclusively with this book, Langford returned to those lost recordings and radically revised them, adding three new tracks. His accomplices in the project were the Burlington Welsh Male Chorus, who contribute a unique warmth to the songs.<\/p>\n

Langford illustrated his lyrics for Skull Orchard, at once autobiographical and fanciful, in a set of \u201csong paintings\u201d created especially for the book, which also includes many more paintings, an A to Z of South Walian culture and history (both personal and general) by brother (and acclaimed SF writer) David, photographs by their father, Denis Langford, and Jon\u2019s first published story, a witty, dystopian tale about a whale and a dolphin.<\/p>\n
