Forgive the spam but I've got a new album out. And as usual it has a lot 
of my own synths on it.

You can listen to it for free (or download better quality versions for a 
small fee) at Bandcamp:

This is synthesiser music, not the dance sort, but inspired by the types 
of music that I grew up listening to in the late 1970s and early 80s. 
There's hints of Mike Oldfield here and there, but also Berlin School 
and Jarre and Vangelis. I can't help it, it's what I do.

Unlike so much stuff these days, the album doesn't reach out and grab 
you in the first microsecond. It's not supposed to. It rises and falls 
as it goes along. It takes you on a journey. And because of this it's 
designed to be listened to from start to finish. So do bear with it if 
you haven't come across my music before.

Although there are only two tracks listed on the album it's not actually 
just two single pieces of music in the popular music sense. In some ways 
it's more akin to classical music in that it features many 
interconnected motifs and themes.

I hope you enjoy it.
