From The Harriet Earis Trio CD "From the Crooked Tree" (2007), featuring Harriet Earis on harp, Sam Christie on drums and Andy "Wal" Coughlan on electric bass. This track was composed by the trio after Sam, the drummer, spent a night on the mountain Cadair Idris in North Wales. The sound of the gale at the start was recorded at the top of the mountain. The track makes use of an eclectic mix of the Welsh traditional tune "Cadair Idris", the Beatles tune "Norwegian Wood" (and samples from the fantastic band "Huun Huur Tu").
