“THE TOMORROW PEOPLE” is an album that has been slowly building for years in 4 different studios in Japan and the UK. One of the issues of this album is that it’s such a big production I’ve yet been able to put it together in its final state. Especially the recording and arranging of the needed male and female opera vocals and other studio musicians. However I think it features some of my best work and want to put it out in its unfinished form for people to listen anyway in the meantime, before I go through each song rebuilding and remastering for a release date which will probably be in a couple of years. The theme of the album started from and is based on the birth of the Internet and the attributes of our ever increasing connected planet. It begins with “A global village linked together by electricity and light” and then precedes to globe trot around the world with tracks like “BUNJALUNG” (Oceania), “CHIKAMICHI” (Asia), “DARK ANGEL” (Europe) & SUNBEAM” (America). Normally the music I write has a very Sci-Fi, spacey or off-world feel but in this case I had very ‘Earthly’ images in mind. With its global outlook the atmosphere is predominantly optimistic, celebratory and hopefully an emotionally positive experience for the listener. The female vocal talents feature the Australian Opera singer Bronwen Stephens, Yan Kuang from Shanghai, and Adeyto (from Europe/Japan).
