Distant Lights Receding is a collection of compilation tracks from over the years.

It's sobering to think that this project has been on the go for 16 years.
Along the way, I've mostly tried to archive and document everything I've done; but one notable exception are all of the various compilation tracks I've contributed over the years.

Here is (mostly) the whole lot, along with some things tacked on as bonuses to other releases or other things that are hard to find; from the wilfully naive IDM of 2005 through all sorts of twists and turns into the long-form "Red Night" extra material which is nearly three albums long in itself. There's also a video I've never got round to compiling anywhere else from the "Amid The Blaze Of Noon" sessions.
