The CD features the Arrangement’s signature tunes Questions Without Answer, Void Of Thought, Tick Tock, Water Water and Missed A Connection (The Duck Song). Thanks to Kate Proctor - flute on Void Of Thought, Dave Newstead - guitar on Tick Tock and Loves Purchases and producer Tim Roebuck - guitar and percussion on Driving Home To You.
