A C Warren I get totally lost in this album. It takes me away to an imaginary place that is filled with mystery and foreboding.

I couldn't possibly pick a favourite track. It needs to be listened to in its entirety.

I can't recommend it enough.

purplmac If you like Blade Runners' soundtrack (the original one), you'll like this album, an ode to Vangelis and some of the greatest soundtracks from the 80s.

Andrew Hartshorn An electronic soundtrack for an imaginary future noir movie, each track blending effortless into the next, great stuff. Would love to see a follow up with the next instalment of the story. Favorite track: The Girl on the Bridge.

    Side A

    This is the soundtrack for an imaginary film.

    The idea comes from reading about Barry Adamson's Moss Side Story album many years ago. I have always fancied writing a soundtrack and in lockdown it struck me that I could and should.

    The sounds themselves are inspired by John Carpenter's early work, Moroder, and Vangelis' Blade runner soundtrack.

    I hope the narrative suggests itself from the music, but to help out, here is some background:

    Set in a futuristic city run by arcane guilds, a stranger is invited in to investigate the disappearance of prominent locals. All of them are connected to the guilds, but can the stranger unravel the mystery or will the city shatter him like glass?

    Cue music ...

    On Side B, you have a compilation of some of my other songs to enjoy.

    Only 50 will be produced.

"I didn’t find it difficult to conjure up accompanying stories to this soundscape, I can’t describe it any other way because that is exactly what he has created." Lipstick and Lullabies


"It's brave, its interesting and it works" - Rebirth of Cool Blog


"Overall this album reminds me of saint Etienne with the samples used and the haunting atmosphere..Can someone make a movie of this please?
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐" Inbetweeners blog


"A truly ethereal work, the atmosphere of the music ebbs and flows with each new chord and key change, reeling you in as the sound envelops the senses. The contrast between light and dark, jollity and melancholy between each song is breath-taking and leaves you balancing on the edge of polarised realities, unsure where the next plot twist will take you. " The Jayne 79
