About This Album
Nightfood is an album of two halves which continues to explore structures and unity in contemporary music. The first four tracks, The Nightfood Sonata, is a surrealist rock tale of broken love. There are elements of progressive rock; with guitar, piano, synthesizer, and other effects to create something different.

The second half is a radical shift from the first. The Neon Sonata consists of three up-beat electro-pop tunes, ending with a dance-trance composition from the 1990s: the theme to the Amiga game Burnout.

Technical Details
This album to includes different CD and Stream versions. Both formats are different so the music has been optimised for each. Streamed music favours individual tracks that have a definite start and end without long intros. The CD format is better for blending tracks together to form a whole-album, symphonic, listening experience.

I like a physical album with artwork, as well as the unity of the album as an art form, so the CD version will always be, for me, the definitive version. Of course, the CD version will not appear on digital platforms. It is intended to be a physical-only release.
