Released In May 2006, Common Ground is a electronic musical journey, an album for listening that takes the listener on an evolving journey… from electronic film-scores, ethereal tangerine dream-like soundscapes and their trademark floating melodies right through to electro tinged growlers & rock vocals. The album builds throughout and ends with two peak time dance floor numbers “Calling” and “Waiting”

The album consists of 11 tracks mixed together in the form of a continuous mix. “Even though the tracks are made separately in the studio , the album is written as one long session creating a vibe like an artist-set with a journey and meaning to it , so that the listener can be taken on a more interesting journey rather than just playing separate tracks ” notes Leama.

The album has taken over a year to record. Leama and Andy set out with a firm goal at the beginning of the project … quality electronic listening music with no compromises. They have certainly achieved their goal; half of the tracks would sound right at home on any Hollywood film score.
