- The Edges of Twilight is the third album by Canadian rock band The Tea Party, released in 1995. The album features many instruments from around the world, giving various songs a strong world music flavour in addition to the rock/blues influences evident in the band's earlier releases. Jeff Burrows explained that "basically we wanted to expand upon the initial idea that we tried on Splendor Solis, which was trying to incorporate different styles of world music into our music. So with this album we became more familiar with many more instruments. In our minds we were trying to do for a rock album what Peter Gabriel does to pop by infusing various cultures, percussion and exotic sounds into it." The Edges of Twilight helped propel the band into mainstream success in their native Canada, where it reached #11 on the Canadian album chart and double platinum status, and earned the band several Juno nominations, including "Best Rock Album" and "Group of the Year". The title of the album is taken from a chapter of the book Fire in the Head, by the American author Tom Cowan, which also inspired the name of the first track on the album. The album includes a hidden song which features a spoken word performance by the folk legend Roy Harper, who is a friend of the band. On the cover is a statue by William Wetmore Story called Angel of Grief. To commemorate the 20th anniversary of The Edges of Twilight, the Tea Party released a deluxe remastered CD, remastered LP, and a North American tour. The deluxe CD also includes a bonus disc that includes alternate, live, radio sessions and bonus audio and the booklet features the story of the album with new band interviews and previously unseen photos. A series of original artworks were commissioned by the band from Australian artist Robert Buratti which were released worldwide. Buratti also created a series of short films which were projected as a backdrop to the band while performing across Canada and Australia. (en)
