A sincere and poignant statement accompanies this release. Daly lost his father to cancer, and this music was composed during the time he slipped away. The aftermath of this event was an epiphanic time for him insofar as the importance of his father’s musical influence was concerned. Half of the forthcoming ‘We Will Live Again’ album is present on this release, and it’s a turbulent selection. Listening to bits I’m reminded of ‘Inner City Life’, especially when the vocals kick in. However, this is just a general impression. Having said that, breakbeats are the dominant motif across these compositions, as well as an occasional bass-heavy undertow. The pieces are well-realised and full of character, a reflection, no doubt, of Daly’s emotional state at the time.
