Description

Artwork Notes An old friend Sarah Bug has a great high powered microscope and captured images of bugs and insects particularly for this album. After having had a listen she offered up a couple of hundred images for me to choose from, this image spoke to me given the album title. The impact became so significant that it is now my main profile picture. Album Notes Opening with The Fight is Over (All is Forgiven) which is reminiscent of Aphex Twin's "Selected Ambient Works Volume 2", Tourists from a Happy Planet sees Free the Radical embark on a groove laden offering, that still encapsulates the galactic sounds of his previous work. Heavily influenced by FTR's experiences of witnessing the 2016 Total Solar Eclipse in Indonesia. Offering a combination of laconic dreamy sounds and uptempo beats, TFAHP builds cinematic soundscapes, invoking imagery of wide open landscapes and deep night skies. We are all just 'Tourists from a Happy Planet'.
