| Each piece on this
album holds strong and precious memories for Tony - places he's
been to and have yet to return - special friends and those
magical moments that never fade from thought - long ago days,
watching the seasons change. Sitting on the beach at night,
under a full moon. Conversations, unrealised dreams. All of
these now appear most strongest in Tony's mind and heart as
melodies.
Notes :
Betty’s Song was written for my mum when she passed away. Many
listeners have requested a studio version of this track, as it
has only appeared before on my live album. |

| A distant waterfall,
a gentle babbling stream, whip birds.......Rainforest Magic is
an adventure into nature's wonderland.
Tony spent a year travelling
Australia, recording sounds in several of the most beautiful
rainforests (Daintree, Lamington, Tasmania etc.)
On his return, he played the
sounds in the studio and composed music over the top, to try and
recreate that special stillness and magic of the forest. Pan
flutes, piano and gentle orchestral sounds provided the ideal
timbres.

| Didgeridoo, soaring
orchestras and pan flutes. Uluru has a movie soundtrack feel to
it, yet remains soothing and relaxing. This album went Gold in
it's second week of release, back in 1995.
But Tony keeps it available
because people keep ordering it! It has some of his personal
favourite pieces, ones that he always imagines eagles soaring,
or wide aerial shots over the vast red sands of central
Australia.

| A lot of the music on
Wilderness has been used in documentaries and films. Each track
certainly features a soundtrack quality, yet the album flows
together very nicely.
Once again, pan flutes, piano and
orchestral sounds, somewhat more dramatic than Tony's other
nature titles.

| For lovers of the
sea.
A great album for the bedroom, as
the gentle sounds of ocean waves and gulls float behind the
melodies. Relaxing, but also uplifting, Whispering Sea also
features two tracks from the discontinued album Seashore
Sunrise, although they were re-recorded.
The title track Whispering Sea is
one of Tony's favourite pieces of all time and he continues to
perform this track at nearly every live show.

| Kakadu
is an ancient, mysterious land. The whole area is so filled with
life - yet there is a vastness, an emptiness, that siezes your
soul while wandering the huge plateaus.
This album
is an extremely popular title, and the inclusion of the nature
sounds attracts a lot of listeners, especially if you have had
the pleasure of visiting Kakadu National Park. There are some
wonderful bird sounds on this album. There is also a short
didgeridoo track called Lightning Man.
Originally
released in 1992 through another label, Tony remastered it and
brought it up to date sonically. It's great to be able to offer
Kakadu again!

| Another of Tony's
personal favourites and a very popular title.
After visiting the incredible
Kimberleys, Tony couldn't help but be inspired to write
something epic. As well as dramatic orchestral movements, he
introduced a lot of acoustic guitar and flutes, trying to
capture that vastness and strength.
Windjana is a tribute to one of
the Earth's last untouched wilderness areas.

| A
very gentle and romantic album of gentle piano and acoustic
guitar - set to a distant background of rain on a Summer's
night.
Paul
Clement and Tony had been performing together for over twenty
years, and it was great to finally produce an album together. It
is a very freeform recording, with raindrops throughout the
background, and creates a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere.
Many
masseurs and natural therapists use Summer Rain and it's a great
bedtime album.

| In
a hidden valley near a cave at the bottom of a waterfall, there
is a special secret place - a place where you can go and relax
and hear the whispers of a forest dreaming.
Hidden
Forest is filled with magical sounds from the rainforest and has
a dreamy, relaxing quality throughout. Many of the pieces are
quite emotive too, and listeners say to Tony that this title is
one their favourites in the nature Australia range.

| Tony's
been told that Mariner is an ideal album for relaxation,
especially if this is your first adventure into music of this
kind. Gentle melodies, using panpipes and floating orchestras,
are set to a soothing background of distant ocean waves.
If you
enjoy sleeping by the sea, then Mariner will help bring those
relaxing sounds into your home. Seagulls, ships' horns and bells
- it really creates an atmosphere of peace and calm. He's
received many many letters from folks who either live on boats
or enjoy sailing, saying that the album brings to them the songs
of the sea.
Mariner
was recorded in 1987. Seems so long ago, yet this album remains
to this day the most popular recording that he has ever
produced.

| This
was - and still is - a very special album for Tony. Originally
planned to be exactly 60 beats per minute throughout, he
discovered a deep, nurturing calm coming into the music while
writing the pieces. The music seemed to write itself.
Tony's
been told by many listeners that In Touch has helped them in a
time of grieving for a lost one, so perhaps there was indeed a
special message inside the melodies. Whatever it is, this album
still takes Tony to a very quiet, comforting place.

| Adventures
of youth - discovering new pathways - recalling distant
memories. All of these emotions nearly overcame Tony when he
wrote this album. It has an adventurous feel to it, with a touch
of sophistication. A good album for the busy executive to play
on the drive home - or even to have playing in an office.

| Some
years ago Tony produced an album of music specifically for use
by mothers-to-be during pre-natal exercises, to help in the
preparation for birthing. The tracks were centred at 60 beats
per minute, and the album (Childlight) was very effective in
helping breathing and relaxation exercises.
Music for
Mother and Child is an extension of that earlier album - indeed
it includes a few of the original tracks remastered.
The music
is ideal for assisting during labour - and it is also perfect
for the new born angel too, in the nursery or bedroom.
Thousands
of childcare centres in Australia use this CD daily and Tony has
received many letters of appreciation, both from mothers and
professional carers.

| This
gentle and calming album was produced especially for use in
pre-natal exercises, as well as for during birth - but it is
focused more in its use for the nursery or bedroom.
Dreamtime,
like the album Mother and Child, is being used in child-care
centres around Australia and is a favourite for playing during
"rest time". Tony's many years of experience in
working with psychologists and natural therapists has assisted
him in creating a recording that helps create a warm, safe and
calming atmosphere.

The Enchanted
Christmas CD, whilst containing seven familiar tracks (and one
new track) still has that naturistic sound about it....
something that is just so Australian and something you will not
find in any music anywhere else.
If you are looking
for a Christmas gift that is just so different then this CD
would have to be it. It would suit anyone from the very
young to the very old, for the person who may just get one gift
this Christmas to the person who has everything.
Tony describes this
CD as "An orchestral, nearly classical
feel to each track, with a touch of acoustic guitar." Each
track is just music without vocals.
