'The Edges Of Twilight' (1995) is the third album by The Tea Party, and considered by many fans to be their finest. The album features over 30 instruments from around the world, including many from the Middle East and Africa, giving the various songs a strong ethnic flavour in addition to the classic/blues influences evident in the band's earlier releases. The Edges Of Twilight helped propel the band into mainstream success in their native Canada, where it reached double-platinum status and earned the band several Juno nominations, including "Best Rock Album" and "Group of the Year".

The title of the album is taken from a chapter of the book Fire in the Head, written by Irish author Tom Cowan, which also inspired the name of the first track on the album.

The album also includes a hidden song which features a spoken word performance by folk legend Roy Harper, who is a personal friend of the band.
