Recent interviews (News date: 7-7-08)

Two recent interviews with Ant are now on line, both of which focus naturally enough on the recent re-issues.  The first is an interview with World of Genesis which as well as the re-issues also covers Wildlife and some other interesting areas.  The interview can be read here.

The second interview is for The Waiting Room and covers in detail how the re-issues were put together.  The interview is featured in the latest issue (#68) and can be accessed directly here.

1984 re-issue out now (News date: 8-6-08)

The 2 CD re-issue of 1984 is out now.  As with the re-issues of The Geese & The Ghost and Wise After The Event, the album has been expertly re-mastered by Simon Heyworth. 

The extra CD for 1984 includes new mixes from the original 8-track masters which allow parts of the album to be heard for the first time in their original basic form.  Also released for the first time is some of Ant's original music for the ATV Series Rule Britannia which was recorded at the same time as the album, the previously unheard keyboard piece Ascension (which was re-discovered on the original multi-track tapes during the research for this re-issue and has been mixed for the first time) and the 16-minute demo version of Poly Piece - a track originally written for inclusion on Sides and then considered by Ant as a possible track for 1984 in the formative stages of the album.

Also included are new liner notes detailing the making of the album with contributions from recording engineer Chris David, the writer and presenter of Rule Britannia Dr James Bellini together with Ant's own memories of the album.

New album release: Wildlife

The new album from Ant and Joji is out now.

Between 1994 and 2000, Anthony and Joji collaborated on a number of outstanding soundtracks for wildlife television programmes in the award-winning Survival series.  In addition, Anthony also wrote and recorded the music for a programme in the BBC series The Natural World.  

Now for the first time highlights from these richly atmospheric and evocative soundtracks are available as a new collection: Wildlife.  From the flooded forests of the Amazon to the huge expanses of the Serengeti, from the cold wastes of Kamchatka in Russia to the peaceful tranquillity of the Norfolk countryside - the music of Wildlife reflects these habitats and the amazingly diverse range of creatures that populate them.
