Edge of Living

Following on from Earth’s definitive collection of Jansch’s 1990s works "Living In The Shadows Part 2: On The Edge Of A Dream" picks up from where it left off, bringing together Bert Jansch’s final recordings, made between 2000 and 2006. This remarkable anthology documents some of Jansch’s finest work, and a man at the top of his game, some 40 years after his first release…. This box set compiles the albums Crimson Moon, Edge of a Dream, and The Black Swan plus Demos, Outtakes & Unreleased.

This is a story about the greatest risks to humanity, and what we can do about it. We are living in a time when human-made risks pose the biggest threat to our existence.

Edge of Existence lays out how we can pull ourselves back from this precipice in order achieve a vast and extraordinary future.
