-  Albion 3: Iceni is an investigation into low end, thundering enormity, horrifying rasp and obliterating distortion. Featuring over 300 sickeningly fat, grimy, epic and mangled loops by uk-based producers and composers including the flight, stanley gabriel, and christian henson.
+  Albion Iceni caters to the creative vision of composers and music producers who seek to craft immense and foreboding low-frequency sounds, evoking the atmosphere of dystopian futures or the chaos of a raging battlefield. This exceptional collection is perfect for creating cinematic scores, game soundtracks, and epic compositions in the realms of rock, pop, and electronic music.
 
-  The largest and lowest sets of drums available for use in london, including rare british marching toms, played by the leader and members of the olympic opening ceremony's drum corps. Stephenson's set of synth basses, pads and sequences generated from the largest, assembled world-class, low-end orchestra for a commercial sample project to-date.
+  The Iceni Sessions cover winds (2 contra bassoons, 2 contrabass clarinets, heckelphone, 2 bassoons, 2 bass clarinets, 1 bass saxophone), brass (2 tubas, 2 cimbassi, 2 contra bass bones, 3 bass bones) and strings with no violins or violas but 24 celli and 8 basses, recorded both tutti and in two celli sections with the celli split either side of the room and the basses in the middle. The orchestral toolset is primitively simple and effective, with longs, legatos and shorts plus mind-boggling FX in the brass and woods.

-  Recorded to tape via the rarest set of valve and ribbon mics in the hall at air lyndhurst, one of the greatest recording studios in the world.
+  Stephenson's Steam Band III draws on the orchestral sessions and vintage analogue equipment from the 60s and 70s, including processors that once belonged to Jimi Hendrix, to unleash the deepest array of synth patches in the collection, with contemporary vowel and notch filters for bone-rattling, full-bandwidth bass tones.
 
-  The orchestral tool-set is primitively simple and effective; longs, legatos, shorts, with some of the most mind boggling fx in the brass and woods. They're designed for anyone to use regardless of their experience or understanding of orchestral disciplines and is scaleable on a variety of systems.

-  Albion ii - loegria is designed as a stand-alone tool, and everything you would need to write beautiful and esoteric film scores out-of-the-box. It features an incredible chamber sized string group of the first call session players in the uk, designed as high and low ensembles with spitfire's mic mixing ability.
+  Presented as an all-in-one composer tool, Albion Loegria encompasses an expertly sampled chamber-sized orchestra featuring strings, woods, brass and cinematic drums, alongside eclectic loops and an inspiring organic synth. The perfect starting point for independent films, period dramas, or more cerebral and intimate music: recorded at the legendary AIR Studios, Lyndhurst Hall, Albion Loegria is a one-stop-shop for media composers, students wanting to break into media music, or the building blocks for a fine orchestral setup.
 
-  Everything is recorded at air-studios lyndhurst hall through the finest and rarest vintage valve and ribbon mics onto 2" tape. Every patch is available with four way mic control and all shorts patches work with the newly enriched "ostinatum" v3 gadget. The strings sound-set features a comprehensive selection of additional techniques including tremolando patches, trills, harmonics, flautando, light col legno and a variety of shorts patches.
+  The Loegria Sessions were captured at AIR Studios, Lyndhurst Hall, through the finest and rarest vintage valve and ribbon microphones onto 2" tape. Every patch is available with four way mic control and all shorts patches work with the enriching Ostinatum feature, across a mixture of true legato, longs and shorts patches. The strings sound set was captured as High and Low Ensembles, concentrating on an array of comprehensive extended techniques in addition to its standard long, short and legato sets: tremolando patches, trills, harmonics, flautando, light col legno and a variety of shorts patches. In addition to the full section, full longs and legatos are duplicated with a smaller half section band.
 
-  The loegria chamber band includes a full section with duplicated full longs and legatos with a smaller 'half section' sized band. With the 4-way mic control the sound is very adaptable and the smaller section is better suited to independent scores, period pieces, romance and comedy, not to mention vocal accompaniment - pop tracks and alike.
+  The brass range concentrates on the true beauty of traditional British brass sections and their heart-wrenching choral qualities, with two ensembles: a bank of euphoniums and horns, and the more ancient but no less moving sackbut choir. The wind section concentrates on the beautiful simplistic qualities of traditional wooden recorders, adding a choral-like addition to the string section.
 
-  Byron beats provides a comprehensive selection of rhythm loops inspired by a popular keyboard instrument from the 60s and 70s. Recorded 'vintage style' through a rare cadac desk, these loops feature both the original full bandwidth analogue recordings and also 'vintage' versions whose signal path includes a line mixer owned and used by jimi hendrix. These loops and patterns are designed to tempo lock with your host.
+  The Byron Tapes provide an inspiring place to start any new indy cue: a comprehensive selection of rhythm loops inspired by a popular keyboard instrument from the 60s and 70s, with a variety of mix settings including one via a line mixer owned and used by Jimi Hendrix. Darwin Percussion offers another selection of thundering cinema style drums with five round robins, five dynamic layers and more hits, recorded and edited in tight and loose versions. Fenton Reversers are reverses derived from the Albion range and locked into host tempo, many of them controllable by the mod wheel.
 
-  Darwin percussion offers a selection of cinematic drums with 5 round robins, 5 dynamic layers and more hits. Patches have been recorded and edited in both "tight" and "loose" versions which give a sense of manpower behind the recordings. Fenton reversals are a selection of reverses derived from the albion range and locked into your host tempo with mod wheel dynamic cross fade control.
+  Stephenson's Steam Band takes the orchestral elements found within the library and warps them beyond recognition, creating a sparkling and rich set of pads, drones and atmos with two-way mic control and modulation control. The interface offers an overview panel showing all available playing techniques with a simple microphone mixer, a general controls panel for in-depth control and purging techniques from memory, and the Ostinatum pattern sequencer for instant ostinato creation.
