Upon returning from successful tours in Canada, Europe and Australia in 1996, The Tea Party recorded Alhambra , an enhanced CD which features acoustic re-recordings of songs from The Edges of Twilight , and followed its release with a brief tour of Canada called “Alhambra Acoustic and Eclectic”. English folk musician Roy Harper appeared on The Edges of Twilight reciting a poem and on Alhambra providing vocals for the song “Time”.
