Source-derived summary

Navigation is the debut album by Irish Sonny Condell's band Radar and was released in May 2005

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Navigation (album)” as album by Sonny Condell. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Navigation, album and Sonny.

Editorial reviewBest approached as a cultural-object dossier: authorship and date matter, but circulation and reception often explain the wider significance. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2005—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2005. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Navigation, album and Sonny providing the first useful test.
