Late summer 2010.  A chance recovery of an old harddrive.  A dozen unfinished songs from 2003 to 2007, with inspiration clearly going back much further.  It feels like Tantalus, but from another era.  In order to fully understand this music I must go back in time, listening to my earliest work, going back to my very roots.  New ideas mix with old melodies, soundscapes evolve from harmonies.  Headphones on and lights off, I am not sure if I am falling into the past or being thrust into the future.

Eight months in the studio brings you this selection of old music, updated and brought into the present.  These echoes of the past represent the next leg of the Tantalus journey through electronic sounds and environments.

Recorded and produced between 2010 and 2011 as Foxhole Studios, Kingswood, Bristol.

Echoes of the Past

9 Minutes (Underpinned Mix)

Track 2 from Echoes of the Past, more of an introduction than a track in its own right, this retrospective mix of melody and arpeggio draws the listener into the main body of the album

The Journey (In) (Album Version)

Track 3 of Echoes of the Past.  Evolving riffs, catchy beats, classic Tantalus sound - this track marks the core of the album.
