This is an album of 'water-colour' piano vignettes, seven of them drawn from the French part of Asher's pilgrimage to Santiago in Spain, and a further eight from time spent in Crete. The French sketches focus on Azay-le-Rideau in the Loire, the area around Lalinde in the Dordogne and on the village of Ainhoa in the Basque country. 'Silver socks' was a cat, 'Lydie' and 'Julien' children and 'The Ithuria family' the Basque clan of Ainhoa. In Crete, 'Minsk' was another cat, 'Xerokambos' a strange lunar landscape and 'Sitia harbour' the setting for another entirely different song as well, 'Fiery Moon', now to be found on High Planes Music. Art of Love has now been combined with Single as Love to form the compilation album Sketches of Innocence, although the original download is available from our download shop. The piano was recorded at the studio of friend and colleague Anthony Phillips, co-founder of Genesis.
