Here's the story - we took over an entire island for four days at the end of last year, recording, writing, taking samples and filming the whole process, so we thought a straightforward CD or vinyl release wouldn't do justice to the way we put this record together. So we proudly present a treasure trove of Listing Ships content in the LIMITED-EDITION HAND-MADE BOTTLE package.

Along with the bottle you'll find a 8GB USB stick embedded into the cork, map of Flat Holm Island insert, and the following digital contents:

---------------- 1. The Flat Holm Island Sessions ----------------

This is what you're here for - the music that makes up our new record. We recorded tracks 1-3 on Flat Holm Island, in a converted Victorian barracks building, while track 4 is composed entirely from samples taken in the lighthouse on the island (with a few bits of synth added in). Track 5 was recorded by us on the hottest day of last year in a tiny concrete room, while tracks 6 and 7 are brand new remixes. We've included uncompressed WAV and MP3 version and individual track artwork for you.

The tracklisting, in case you lose the insert from the bottle(!):
- Drop The Anchors
- Fireship
- The Wolves
- The Lighthouse
- All Aboard The MS Stockholm
- The Wolves (Kid Kid remix)
- Fireship (BNF Recon)

---------------- 2. Videos ----------------

We made a documentary about our visit to Flat Holm Island, which is available for the first time here. It's a bit like This Is Spinal Tap set at sea.

Other videos:
- A dramatic movie trailer for the Listing Ships documentary.
- The video for Equus Ager, filmed by Fred Perraut during one of our rehearsals.
- The video for The 100 Gun Ship, assembled by our former drummer Dave Balch from old war and Navy footage.
- The video for Alba Adriatica, filmed by Fred Perraut during a recording session at the RNLI lifeboat station on Hayling Island in 2012.
- The video for Nutcracker Six, filmed in Venice.

---------------- 3. Bonus Listing Ships music ----------------

Last year we put out a remix album called 'Ship of Theseus', in which we asked a load of people to remix tracks from our album The Hayling Island Sessions - that's included here as a bonus for you, along with two of our early tracks from 2011, Skipper's Daughter and Melusine Romance.
