"A Third Testament" was a six-part series exploring issues of faith and religion through the likes of St. Augustine, Kierkegaard and Tolstoy among others, and the music here reflects the depth of the series, grafting pipe organ and choral elements onto Mills-Cockell's trademark Moog tinkering. As with most soundtracks, what would normally be fully-fleshed out pieces are mere snippets, with many tracks clocking in at under three minutes. His first solo album, "A New Testament" would anchor a long and fruitful career for Mills-Cockell's compositions for film and the theatre. Approximately 9 inch square, multi-page booklet included with illustrations, lyrics and credits.</div> </div> <table class="tracklist_3QGRS"> <tbody> <tr data-track-position="A1"> <td class="trackPos_2RCje">A1</td> <td class="artist_3zAQD"> </td> <td class="trackTitle_CTKp4">Yasnaya Polyana</td> <td class="duration_2t4qr">3:09</td> </tr> <tr data-track-position="A2"> <td class="trackPos_2RCje">A2</td> <td class="artist_3zAQD"> </td> <td class="trackTitle_CTKp4">The Sands Of Jutland</td> <td class="duration_2t4qr">2:17</td> </tr> <tr data-track-position="A3"> <td class="trackPos_2RCje">A3</td> <td class="artist_3zAQD"> </td> <td class="trackTitle_CTKp4">Voices In Westminster Abbey</td> <td class="duration_2t4qr">2:54</td> </tr> <tr data-track-position="A4"> <td class="trackPos_2RCje">A4</td> <td class="artist_3zAQD"> </td> <td class="trackTitle_CTKp4">The Sad Trumpets Of Albion</td> <td class="duration_2t4qr">3:02</td> </tr> <tr data-track-position="A5"> <td class="trackPos_2RCje">A5</td> <td class="artist_3zAQD"> </td> <td class="trackTitle_CTKp4">Innocence And Experience</td> <td class="duration_2t4qr">2:58</td> </tr> <tr data-track-position="A6"> <td class="trackPos_2RCje">A6</td> <td class="artist_3zAQD"> </td> <td class="trackTitle_CTKp4">Vision Of Fire</td> <td class="duration_2t4qr">1:37</td> </tr> <tr data-track-position="A7"> <td class="trackPos_2RCje">A7</td> <td class="artist_3zAQD"> </td> <td class="trackTitle_CTKp4">The Age Of Discovery</td> <td class="duration_2t4qr">3:02</td> </tr> <tr data-track-position="B1"> <td class="trackPos_2RCje">B1</td> <td class="artist_3zAQD"> </td> <td class="trackTitle_CTKp4">Berlin Cabaret</td> <td class="duration_2t4qr">2:13</td> </tr> <tr data-track-position="B2"> <td class="trackPos_2RCje">B2</td> <td class="artist_3zAQD"> </td> <td class="trackTitle_CTKp4">The Prisoner Of Tegel</td> <td class="duration_2t4qr">3:29</td> </tr> <tr data-track-position="B3"> <td class="trackPos_2RCje">B3</td> <td class="artist_3zAQD"> </td> <td class="trackTitle_CTKp4">On The Heath</td> <td class="duration_2t4qr">2:28</td> </tr> <tr data-track-position="B4"> <td class="trackPos_2RCje">B4</td> <td class="artist_3zAQD"> </td> <td class="trackTitle_CTKp4">North African Gladiator</td> <td class="duration_2t4qr">4:09</td> </tr> <tr data-track-position="B5"> <td class="trackPos_2RCje">B5</td> <td class="artist_3zAQD"> </td> <td class="trackTitle_CTKp4">All Things That Have Breath</td> <td class="duration_2t4qr">1:18</td> </tr> <tr data-track-position="B6"> <td class="trackPos_2RCje">B6</td> <td class="artist_3zAQD"> </td> <td class="trackTitle_CTKp4">Sunset At Nurnberg</td> <td class="duration_2t4qr">2:00</td> </tr> <tr data-track-position="B7"> <td class="trackPos_2RCje">B7</td> <td class="artist_3zAQD"> </td> <td class="trackTitle_CTKp4">Winter Farewell (Dedication To Leo Tolstoy)</td> <td class="duration_2t4qr">6:51</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div>
