In response to demand from contra dancers, we compiled 13 of our favourite dance sets and a couple of waltzes on to one album,
unfettered by songs. All of these tracks are available on our previous albums, but here the avid dancer can merely hit "Play"
and disappear into that world of dancing bliss for nearly an hour ... before emerging to hit "Play" again, and again!
Note: Being a compilation, this CD has some overlap with each of the preceding albums, most notably Overtones & Undercurrents.
