The long awaited follow-up to the Masterharper of Pern CD.

June 22, 2009: We've just heard from Elizabeth Littman that she now has a webpage in place. You should see it -- there's a whole gallery of her beautiful fantasy art: www.thedragonstudio.com

January 20, 2009: After many trials and tribulations, two name changes and a second mastering session, the finished recording is here!

Packaging for all pre ordered copies has been prepared in anticipation. If you pre-ordered your copy, you should have it by now.

We'll be posting a set of extended sleeve notes on the web for die hard "need to know" fans, so if there's anything you need to know please don't hesitate to email us.

We're happy to discuss the writing process, instrumentation, techie stuff like recording details, equipment etc, along with anything you might like to share with us that's Pern music related. In particular, when you've had a listen to Sunset's Gold, we'd love to know what you think of it. We make no promises to respond immediately but we will read, digest and do what we can to keep up.
