The label Coda was run by her then-husband Nick Austin and had many different New Age acts recording for it. Her music was used for the 5-part BBC1 series Domesday, broadcast in November and December 1986. Four tracks (“Glastonbury (Jerusalem)”, “Tides”, “Spring: Awaken Lark Rise” and “Stars”) were issued as the Domesday EP on Coda Records.
