(click image for info/audio) Life Before Land (1994/2004) "...working in his Brixton back room with the minimal street-tech resources of a million other wired bedrooms, Tom Green sucks forms out of air, giving audio shape to the feeling of a sitting on a curve of sand, synchronising to tidal, primal sound loops..." DAVID TOOP, BEYOND press release 7/94 "...a fine example of the new eclecticism...this ambitious project succeeds through its ability to sound natural and supremely relaxed but challenging at the same time" ON MAGAZINE 9/94 "...talking of "ambient", there's some music in that genre that is so well made and easy on the ear that there's not much more to say. The excellent Life Before Land by Another Fine Day, is a case in point. " JOHN L WATERS, in THE GUARDIAN 10/7/05 "...this is music that I can't ever imagine not being part of
my life." No 3 in THE INDEPENDENT'S "Best Ambient Albums" chart 7/05

"...before playing this lighter-than-air disc, you'd be well advised to nail your speakers to the floor." US JAZZ TIMES 2/01 "An essential release for any fan of downtempo, chill-out, or global contemplation" WAX 3/01 "...a gorgeously chilled collection of well-earthed tracks...It's like shopping organic in the supermarket, you get used to it 'cos you know it's good for you" DJ magazine 2/6/01 "...pure English summer, Big Chill, Enchanted Garden music...unique, interesting, and great for Sundays." MUZIK 7/01 |
(click image for info/audio) Music for MRI Scanners (2008) This music was composed by Tom Green(aka Another Fine Day) in 2001, for ambient playback in the ancillary areas of a new MRI Scanner in The Royal Infirmary, Bristol. The three twenty minute pieces are designed to induce feelings of calm and security, and are perfect for anyone looking for an ambient accompaniment to yoga, meditation, massage, and similar practices, or simply relaxation. Complex melodies and rhythms, likely to draw the attention, are absent, replaced by slowly evolving textures and processed fragments of sound from piano, kalimba, and the natural world, gently enhancing the audio environment. |
Chasing Tornados Composer
and sonic experimentalist Tom
Green (aka another fine day) returns to
the world of released music with his first offering of new material
since his Six Degrees release Salvage in 2000. Salvage gave the world
the most stunning, off beat, and infamous take on Scarborough Fair ever
recorded, as attested to by BBC Radio 3's Mixing It.
As ever, Tom
Green finds his inspiration through nature on the title
track of the EP. What would you expect of a Dorset boy, matured in Brixton,
and gardening for real on a windy South London hill? Chasing Tornados
is a classic slice of ambient sound styling, expertly laden with characteristically
delicate jazz-infused piano lines, thumb piano, and a hypnotic dub-inspired
bass line. |
