background
Flying
Home is a very chilled sounding album. After the hard work to
sound varied and lively on his debut, Christo wanted
to make a more laid back album with a mellow atmosphere
throughout.
He chose to do it with his Talking Fish trio and focus
on their excellent harmonies. He had a lot of new songs
to bring to the album.
This also marked the time CC worked with Vikki Clayton
- he had just assited with her demos for her Movers
& Shakers album and plucked up courage to asked
her to sing on this album. He went on to join her band.
It was at this time he started touring Germany.

trivia
The presence of Vikki Clayton on the album at a time when
she hadn't had a release for a while did wonders for sales,
especially when he started played gigs with her.
He also realised after making this album how many tracks
were to do with journeys and distances - something he
puts down to moving home a lot as a child.
In 2014 Vikki Clayton recorded a new version of Coming In To Land for her forthcoming album.
