"Sex And Wildflowers" was an artistic turning point for Howden and saw the introduction of his trademark looped violin work. It also produced songs that still populate his live performances to this day. Originally released in 2003 and 2005 on CD, the lengthy nature of the album means this debut vinyl edition runs to two records. There are the four extra tracks: 'Bluebell', 'Handfasting', 'Crimson Clover' and 'Loki Rides Again', along with the two original tracks missing from on the 2005 re-issue: 'Love's Trumpet' and 'Love's Other Trumpet'. Finally comes a newer version of 'Virgin In The Green' from "As They Should Sound", released in Spring 2009. Written, performed and produced by Matt Howden in Spring 2003 and Winter 2005. "There's a melancholic air about the music of Sieben. The instrumentation is in the tradition of folk music, but the delivery is darker, and decidedly more dramatic, with sweeping strings and a scintillating violin score" (Compulsion Online). Ltd x 150 copies on black vinyl in a sumptuous gatefold sleeve with new artwork.
