A snapshot. A narrative. A chronicle.
A Map Of The Stars In Summer collects together mostly previously unpublished Martyn Bates & Eyeless In Gaza lyrics, spanning the region of some 25 years.

A Map Of The Stars In Summer unveils the amazing cohesion of a skin deep universe, offering us a unique retrospect look upon it, showing its new shades ... and, beyond the immanent Mystery, we can once again brush the phantasy of reading through the artist's mind. Here, words exist for themselves, for what they convey, what they betray, and also for what they cannot tell ... a thin thread to an agitated Subconscious, a Babelesque edifice open to manifold interpretations - seeds to fire the imagination, the truth of a moment, all the emotional ambivalence ... perhaps even prayers for a better Self. Words of elevation, words of redemption to curse the inevitable fall ... undeniable words of Love, also - these transporting odes are our own mirrors, reflections of our own distress, uncommunicable desires, purest emotions ... snatches of dreams ever recomposing our reality.

Hear the melody, and breathe gently in … its stars & summer are yours ...
[extracts from a Daniel Crokaert presentation]
