David McAlmont is undoubtedly one of the most flamboyant frontmen of the '90s, gaining a reputation as one of Britain's most underrated vocalists. In 1994 he teamed up with ex-Suede guitarist Bernard Butler to form McAlmont & Butler. Despite a critically acclaimed debut album, 'The Sound of...McAlmont & Butler', and a Top Ten single, the anthemic 'Yes', it was a short-lived project. The pair only performed in public twice and by the time of their second single, 'You Do', they were in the middle of an acrimonious split that was played out in the music press. David has since gone on to record with Michael Nyman and David Arnold, amongst many others, as well as re-uniting with Bernard Butler for the duo's second calbum, 'Bring it Back'. Julian Butler is a composer/lyricist who has written for several musicals, and dozens of theatre shows. 'Time Stands Still' is drawn from Engine House's musical 'Beauty and the Beast', written with Olivier Award winning scriptwriter Mike Kenny.
