From the latest Audience Newsletter written by Keith Gemmell.: Dave and his mate, Tony Lowe, have done quite a bit of work for Audience since we reformed, including locating and recovering some old tapes and compiling and maintaining our discography so it only fair we give Tony's own music a plug. I've had a listen and there's some really nice, varied stuff there, including some lovely guitar work. It's a three cd set - in Dave's words, "10 years in the making and Tony's concept album based on the "a place where a world of music, colour and scent combine, surrounding and engaging you in a glorious tri-sensory experience". Dave goes on to say "He interacts sound, colour and aromatherapy." Each CD is only 11 pounds which includes p&p.
