about
More than a quarter of a century in the making, we believe it was worth the wait. Now, in the early twenty-first century, the technology is available to immortalise this music and distribute it to the world.

The album features some songs written by Mark and Noel in the dim distant past, when they were in other bands, other places. Other songs emerged on the way, and one is brand new. We credit the main writer or writers here but Arbelos as a collective arranged the final product in all cases.

Track Name: Sunjammer
I was only thirteen,
On my first flight from Earth to Mars,
What a sight to behold,
The Sunjammer Chase.
With acres of silver sail,
To capture the light
Borne on the solar wind,
In the Earth to Moon race.

Sunjammer, sailing on the wind from the Sun.
Sunjammer, silver sails floating in the sun.

In her shimmering gown
Diana swirled through the crowd,
And Gossamer too,
Turned well on the bank.
But Santa Maria,
Couldn’t tack on the breeze,
Her golden wings crumpled
and slowly she sank.


Sunjammer, sailing on the wind from the Sun.
Sunjammer, silver sails floating in the sun.



Far in the lead
Were Diana and Gossamer
When the message came through
From the Mercury base.
A violent solar storm
Was heading their way,
The race was halted,
Ships abandoned with haste.

Sunjammer, sailing on the wind from the Sun.
Sunjammer, silver sails floating in the sun.

The two ships are sailing
Now far beyond Mars
The race isn’t over
As they reach for the stars.

Sunjammer, sailing on the wind from the Sun.
Sunjammer, silver sails floating in the sun.

Sunjammer, sailing on the wind from the Sun.
Sunjammer, silver sails floating in the sun.

Sunjammer, sailing on the wind from the Sun.
Sunjammer, silver sails floating in the sun.
Track Name: Seeing Stars
Walking through the city streets

Late at night

Silence hanging thinly, like a veil

Roads wet reflecting yellow

Streaks of light

The clouds are gone but stars are barely seen

Frowning I return home to live a dream…







Walking on a pebble beach

At twilight

Waves crashing, salt spray cold and sharp

Along the coast a lighthouse shines

A warming sight

I smile pleased with the day that’s passed

Soon the stars will glisten, and I’m at peace, at last…
