He originally created the piece for acclaimed recent solo release Sanctuary, with vocals by Angharad Brinn, who worked on his award-winning Kompendium album Beneath The Waves. He decided it had no place on the full-length record, so instead it'll be launched alongside a reworking of folk song Scarborough Fair and four instrumental tracks.

Reed says: "I'm a huge fan of The Wicker Man and always loved Willow's Song - it's a really haunting piece and I always wanted to do my own version. As soon as Angharad sang it I knew it was something quite special."
