about

So after we're released from this fictional and allegorical prison of our own making, what next? The hippy in me likes to think that we'd go back to nature...that stripped of our desire for the technological by the world's biggest session of aversion-therapy, we'd embrace our oneness with the planet and start afresh - nature at zero.

I'd had the melody for this in my head for over a year - it came to me in the early hours and I had to get out of bed to write it down, playing it on the fretless when I had a chance when daylight arrived. This is the second version of the track - the first was lost in a catastrophic hard-drive failure with no back-up copy. Brian more or less recreated the piano solo he'd laid down originally and his guitar solo was far more soulful than the lost effort. Most of the tracks on 'Isolation' are cunningly-disguised jazz, but this one is uncamouflaged and out there. I love how this sounds - well worth the hours I spent orchestrating it.

The avant-garde jazz pianist Esbjorn Svensson, one of my heroes, died a few months after we'd finished "Nature At Zero", hence the dedication of the track to him. If you've an ounce of soul, I urge you to check out the Esbjorn Svensson Trio's output.
