Jazz fusion, nu jazz, prog. jazz... Go! Next have never heard of jazz but are determined to change what it's about.

This album is for a final university project. The composition/structure of the album was incredibly significant so due to time restrictions put in place by a submission date these tracks are not fully realised in a production context and should be viewed from a composition stand point as opposed to a mixing one. We effectively had 5 months to compose, conceptualise, arrange, record, mix and master all songs from scratch whilst writing dissertations and scoring a student film. Despite this mammoth task we're both very happy with what we've achieved and can't wait to take the pieces further.

A quick note on some of the albums content is needed to establish relevant artistic properties. As you can hear we have used a plethora of poetry and voiceover samples of which we do not own the creative rights to. This is a non-profit project however that still does not mean we cannot give credit where credit is due. Without the works of Robert Frost this album would be a mere speck of meaningless dust so we cannot thank his brain enough.
