Album Details:

Overview:
New York Times #1 Best-seller, top comic book writer, award-winning screenplay author - there's more to say about Neil Gaiman than we have space here.

Format:
CD

Details:
A very special and unique project. Bands who are fans of Neil's work were asked to write songs about their favorite Gaiman story, character, or setting. The contributions of seventeen top international artists are exclusively collected on this CD. Neil Gaiman was involved in the project from the start and wrote the liner notes for the CD. Dave McKean handled all of the artwork. (Since we've been asked already, we should point out that Neil doesn't actually sing on the CD).

Like Neil's writing, the material on this disc is very diverse in both source material and musical styles. Naturally The Sandman series is well represented, but there are also songs about Stardust, Neverwhere, American Gods, Coraline, The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish, Mr. Punch, Wolves in the Walls, The Goldfish Pool, and Mirror Mask.

We will begin shipping this album on July 5, 2006, approximately two weeks prior to its official release date.

Released July 18, 2006 on Dancing Ferret Discs. All tracks are exclusive and not available anywhere else.
