I created this to be a collection of images and for the ears, with strong catchy themes taking the listener back to when times were great, with a sense of longing. These are memories of Moosetopia. From the beautiful beaches to awesome cathedrals; from summer and winter celebrations to the sheer natural splendour. As soon as the CD starts then you are transported straight back to Moosetopia. Between the soaring ‘SunRise’ and the ambient and reflective ‘My Beautiful Day’ is a collection of eclectic music, from euphoric dance to poignant ambient tracks, all taking you to a place and time of happy memories with a longing to return. This is electronic music at its most organic featuring several ‘real’ instruments taking the lead such as accordion, pipe organ, bamboo flute, bagpipes, jazz band, steel drums and piano bringing you the sounds of Moosetopia: that place where you would rather be. The melodic music soars and lifts the spirit but at the same time there are reflective tones harking back to days gone by. If you like the music of my heroes, Jean-Michel Jarre (Equinoxe, Chronologie) or Vangelis (Chariots of Fire, China) because of their melodies and variety of themes then I am sure you will love this album. With very few lyrics, the music sings for itself from the infectious vibrant “Hola Havana” to the haunting "Distant Longing", or the funky jazz meets trance-synth of "Get Funky" to the pip-organ baroque meets techno of “Organic Manoeuvre”. Then there are the electro-folk stompers of JiGiToN and Forever Hogmanay to the piano trance of 'Summer Memories'.
