Listening through the 30 tracks on our 'This is Tomorrow Calling' compilation this morning and thinking about how someone less familiar with the broad spectrum of contemporary art music might react to it. Clearly some tracks are more aurally challenging than others. But actually what hopefully makes it work is that, by offering three hours of music for single album price, everyone can find enough music on there that is interesting and enjoyable. For those who are not keen on avant garde, there are stunning pieces by the likes of Backspace, Veera Markkanen, Elliot Corner, Kevan O'Reilly, Coreen Morsink and Paul Taylor . Fans of more leftfield and atonal music will love the contributions from Marc Yeats, Edmund Hunt, Andras Keri, John Strieder and Paul Evernden. Electroacoustic enthusiasts will enjoy tracks by Nicolas Horvath and Roland Kuit. If you prefer jaunty Synth & Piano Electronics or clubby Trance-Electronica there are Guy Avern, Fivrel, Dei Zephyr and Tamayura Kurage. For Jazz-oriented listeners Moda Trio and Jamal Dorce (happywizardman) may be the tracks of choice while for brilliant orchestration and dark brooding music and textures there are Kelvin Thomson, Marina BlackMarine Vesic and Martin Gaughan. If you like (post) Spectral and Industrial music mixing with modal harmony and textural contrasts we have Julian Broadhurst and some guy called Neil March! And our opening track by Anna Murray is too original to fit easily in any box but words like sparse, ambient and minimal come to mind. Likewise the mind-boggling mix of Viola & Electronics provided by Slavko Zagorac. So there you have it. There has definitely never been an album like this before. If you want to get it for the ridiculously low preorder price of $7.99 (that,s about a fiver to download a triple album), log onto www.demerararecords.com and click on the link to iTunesNeil March)


Resonance FM, London’s premier new music radio station, will broadcast a one-hour programme about the album This is Tomorrow Calling in late August 2015. The show, hosted by Dan Ross, will mix the playing of selected tracks with chat involving Demerara Records’ Neil March and pre-recorded interviews with some of the composers and artists on the album.
