The album originally from 2006 showcases three styles of electronic music composition –
1. On the move around the USA using a Mac laptop with virtual synth software.
2. In the studio with a PPG Wave 2.2 and other keyboards, and
3. In concert for Alfa Centauri in Holland using Moog and Korg synths, sequencers and modular systems, all strictly live.

The 1st suite: ‘New Jersey Shore’ comprises three short up-tempo pieces with shades of CLUSTER and Jean-Michel Jarre.
The 2nd inspired of course by the 1955 sci-fi movie and sampling dialogue from it swings from digital sequences to orchestral samples and the eerie sound of the Theremin.
The 3rd for a live concert performance layers huge ambient pads, driving sequencers, drum machines and guitar in an epic reminiscent of TANGERINE DREAM's classic ‘Ricochet - Part 2’.

‘This Island Earth’ was released on 19th January 2026.
