Sleeve Notes
Cover image take from David and Ania's collection of Delft tiles portraying Cain killing Abel (Genesis IV:8)
The title of this album was inspired by my readings in the Akkadian Omen series DIS URU ina mele GAR (summa alu ina mele sakin)--"IF A City Is Set Upon A Height".
Once the wedges were formed, and correctly understood, the words fell from my eyes.

David sends all his love to his beloved Polka, Ania: this album, and everything in the City, is for her
--she who is truly set upon a Height and a Hill.
And I thank forever also all of my and our DearestFamilyFriends in the C93 UtterCurrentOrgasm
--Alasdair, Aloma, Davide, Giulio, Jake, Liles, Michael, Ossian, Reinier, Rita, and Timothy Mark.
And many thanks also to:
Amen Amen Amen my dear friends and teachers: Martin Worthington, Ola Wikander, and Seth Sanders
for Akkadian, Biblical Hebrew, and Ugaritic Wisdoms; and Hugo Lundhauf for Coptic Wisdoms.
José Pacheco, Keith Richmond, Mark Bourdeau, and Mark Logan for being there and here and everywhere, always.
Sam Willis, without whose kindness and friendship and support we could never have been able to rebuild Borley Rectory.
Whilst we were working on the finishing stages of this album, Ania and I were blessed to become close friends with June-Allison Gibbons, the remarkable artist and writer, and author of the legendary novel "The Pepsi-Cola Addict", one of our favourite-ever novels, which we are to republish with her on our Cashen's Gap imprint. We thank her, with Much Love, for her friendship and kindness, and the inspiration she has given us.
