My final release of the year on Body Rhythm, ‘Travelogue’ is out now on Body Rhythm Records (BRR038).
I had originally planned to put out a standard ‘best of 2011’ compilation to end the year, but then I decided to switch things up a little and do something I’ve had in the back of my mind for a while which is to compile all the tracks I’ve written on the label that were written with a specific destination around the world in mind.
As I started to sift through the back catalogue I realized there was a whole bunch of tracks that could fit in to the general ‘travel’ theme – for example, ‘Bon Voyage’, ‘Lost In Translation’ and ‘The Traveling Man’ would all have worked.
In the end though there were just too many tracks and in an effort to whittle it down I decided to keep it strictly to tracks that referred to actual places. I think it also helps to make the theme of the compilation more obvious and immediate to the casual listener who’s just flicking through a pile of tracks on one of the online stores.
