NOTES

A collaboration between two like-thinking musical minds: Colin Bass (Camel, Steve Hillage) on vocals, bass and piano, and Daniel Biro on keyboards. After years of slow-nurturing ideas, the two have finally, like a good wine, got their project to reach maturity.

A collection of carefully crafted, intimate songs that came about very organically, purely through the will of the two protagonists to 'make something happen'. To create something very personal, fragile, beautiful, that faithfully reflected the wistful state of mind of two people looking at life from a 'seasoned' vantage point. Reclaiming innocence through experience.

Why 'Still'? Because it's all quite slow-moving. Ambient songs. Not much drums, just Daniel's vintage keyboards (Rhodes piano, Moog synths, Hammonds, string machines, acoustic piano), Colin's electric bass and, of course, voice. The stillness of contemplation but with strong emotional undercurrents that evoke childhood's innocence, love's complexities and society's conundrums. It's also the 'still' of 'still believing', 'still doing it' and 'still living with passion'. Despite everything... still...

CD comes in gatefold carboard sleeve with 24 pages booklet. Made in the EU.

Official release date is 26/06/2020 but the CD was available for Indiegogo backers and on Colin Bass and Daniel Biro's websites on the 17/04/2020
