The End And The Beginning Cover

Notes
My first album of pop songs with vocals by Tor James Faulkner. Some of the tracks date back to 2002. To record the music, simple melodic backing tracks were sent to Tor in Scotland who recorded his vocals in one take. Those recordings were returned to me and incorporated into the final mix. As a result most of the tracks took many weeks or months to complete.

This is a concept album about a man who enter a comatose state in the 1980's, awakening years later to a future of strangers and robots. Although the tracks can vary in style, there is an intentional early 1980's feel to the music. My influences on these songs are many and varied, but there are definate shades of E.L.O. and Ultravox, with some Pink Floyd and even Kate Bush.

"Musically, we aren't too removed from Mark's usual style, electro-pop but with more reflective, almost ambient sections, complimented by Tor James Faulkner's voice on most songs and even Mark's voice on a couple of tracks. This is quite an adventurous album and a big stretch in both technique and style." Full Review...
