: : LINER NOTES : :

For the past two years I spent my time traveling through the latitudinal region from 23027' North to 23027' South wandering through back and forth, crossing this way and that either sailing the seas in my yacht, flying the skies in my jet liner, but frequently putting on my boots and grabbing my walking stick exploring the depths and riches of the culture the wonders of the landscape, making my way as a vagabond through the part of the world known as The Tropics! And what did I find? Music.

Everyday I would sit down with my guitar and mole over truly struggle and sweat to write these songs. Amassing over 30 compositions and then sending them back to England to be sorted through. The best were chosen and brought to the studio where Russian musicians laid down piping good tracks. Then American vocalist Dwight Peterson was brought in to sing the words with his golden voice. Afterwards I came in to lay down the drum tracks. It is music inspired by the tropics, its very special people, and lovely places. Do enjoy.

Your friend, Fletchen Thatcher
