LYRICS

Look at my reflection, the sun begins to fade.
Lights in all directions, don’t you throw it all away.
Say it like you’ll bring it back, you were always quick with that.
You're lost with no direction, its no secret, no surprise. 
You look just like perfection, but is there more behind your eyes.
You buried your desires, I stole you now you're mine. 
You sure you can't stay awhile?
Shadows dance and play, you're close I float away. 
Come over and I’ll make you smile.
Cause it only took a second for me to know, I was finished no direction home. 
Tell me what I want to hear, but you feel so far from here.
When I'm left on read, I'm in my head, you cant change anything, anything.
Come morning, you'll leave me and I cant change anything, anything. 
Say it like you’ll bring it back, you were always quick with that.
Ever changing, Berlin Blue.

In 2014, he was diagnosed with throat cancer, which went into remission after six years. In 2021, however, he shared the news of his stage 4 rectal cancer diagnosis.
Earlier this year, in an essay that broached the issue, he wrote, “Since I have been granted life, I am praying that I will be able to make music until my last moments, just like my beloved Bach and Debussy. I have just turned 70, but how many more times will I be able to see the full moon?”
Sakamoto significantly influenced electro and techno – via much of his early work with Yellow Magic Orchestra, and his 1980 second solo album, B-2 Unit, notably with the track Riot in Lagos – but also film soundtrack music via Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence (1983), The Last Emperor (1987), The Sheltering Sky (1990) and more recently The Revenant (2015).
All of his creative dimensions are addressed on this tribute album for which the artists, who include friends and past collaborators such as David Sylvian, Thundercat, Cinematic Orchestra, Devonté Hynes, Hildur Guðnadóttir, and Alva Noto, were allowed full access to his far-reaching catalogue of solo work and film scores. Some 13 pieces of music, ranging from his best-known to more obscure works – at least to casual admirers – have in the parlance of the production been “remodelled” to varying degrees of familiarity.

Gather together beneath the sun as we journey through the rhythmic sands of time, Paul Hillery, an esteemed collector and vinyl hunter, presents his follow-up to the highly acclaimed ‘We Are The Children Of The Sun‘. Andrew Male of MOJO Magazine calls the album “One of the most emotionally uplifting and hazily beautiful compilations of recent years.”

“Once Again We Are The Children Of The Sun” is a shimmering collection of rare finds, reminding us that we have more to connect us than to divide us. The music encompasses a broad range of sounds, starting in Cajun country with Will & James Ragar, their handmade acoustic guitars allowing for soaring vocals. Along with many of the tracks featured on this compilation, “As the Day Grows Tired” is reissued on vinyl for the first time.

Experience the previously unreleased cover of “Milk and Honey” featuring Kat Barnard and Greg Foat, a versatile mainstay of the UK jazz scene. Discover the first-ever vinyl release of “Kayenta Crossing” by William Eaton Ensemble, capturing the austere presence of Monument Valley. Immerse yourself in Wendy Grace’s jazz-folk masterpiece “More Than Hope” and the acoustic ambience of “Golden Hour” by Aria Rostami.

Paul Hillery and BBE present a compilation of styles and genres, fusing together to make private press wants accessible as a springboard for further listening pleasures. “Once Again We Are the Children of the Sun” is an eclectic selection mixing styles, year and tempo, painstakingly gathered and presented with a great deal of love.

Greg Foat has always had a great reverence for the musicians that featured on the records he has collected over the years. Whether they were players from the great European library catalogs, Italian soundtracks, American Jazz but most of all British Jazz. One of his all-time favourites being the beautiful tone of Art Themen's Saxophone…

After Art had played on a few sessions for Greg both were keen to record an LP together. Plans were hatched during lockdown and everyone headed to Edinburgh as soon as allowed, to an unassuming metal door that leads to a renowned studio with a large live room with a stunning Neve desk. Chamber Studio has a long Edinburgh heritage, known for recordings from Mogwai to everyone's favourite The Vaselines.

Greg & Art wanted to do something experimental so they brought in an interesting and challenging mix of new musicians along with a large pile of synthesizers and effects pedals. The result is a fantastic melting pot of melodic, harmonic and rhythmic ideas and motifs.

Greg Foat - Fender Rhodes, Prophet 10, Roland SH-101
Art Themen - Tenor and Soprano Saxophones
Gavin Sutherland - Guitars
Amanda Whiting - Harp
Philip Achille - Bass
Nadav Schneerson - Drums & Percussion

Recorded at Chamber Studio, Edinburgh
