INTO THE RAINBOW
To all the friends and fans of Kymaera: the situation with Into The Rainbow has become so complicated that I thought a little history with explanations might help us all keep track of it.
The original album recorded in 2000 had 13 tracks to which we added 2 vocal numbers with our guest Maria Ewing whom we met over that Summer just after finishing the original recordings. That album was released in June 2001 by String Jazz, available from City Hall Records in the US in very small quantities, it did not get a general release in the UK until 2001. Here is the track listing

In 2006 the American company Sheridan Square asked us for a licence to release Into The Rainbow in the USA. As we were no longer working with Maria Ewing they removed those 2 songs and, at our suggestion, replaced them with 3 tracks we had recorded for Union Square that had not yet been released. These pieces were respectively The Last Resort, Sweet Soul and Another Day. However the total of 16 tracks was first reduced to 14 then to 13, in the ensuing confusion and lack of communication the track order and their respective names became separated from each other.
This is the published American track order -
1 Desert Rose
2 Rosina
3 Dream Of Fair Women
4 Into The Rainbow
5 Little Bercheres
6 Starjive
7 Last Summers Song
8 Hearts In Chains
9 For The Moment
10 Follys End
11 So If
12 Vicki
13 The Last Resort
