The final track on the album is called Floating, a perfect name for an almost Acid Jazz feel. Its choir harkens back to the early ’60s, when Colin would go to Shepheard’s Bush Market in Southwest London, hearing snatches of the hottest jazz albums drifting from the record stores.

“Anywhere But Here” is a nuanced hybrid of electronica, scat, jazz, and trip-hop as lauded as its creator. Originally appearing on 2001 debut album “The Story of the Mechanical Man”, the remix was the opening theme for TV series Regenesis and was nominated for “Best Television Theme” at the Hollywood Music Awards in 2008. The video for this intense and original song is currently airing on Much Music Canada. The recognition is no surprise given the torn beats, complex lyrics delivered by the beautiful female vocals of Andrea Revel, and slick bassline of this non-traditional and fun song.
