April 2nd will see the long awaited release of the special CD & DVD Box set
ŒRevolution Remixed and Surrounded¹ by Howard Jones.
The CD in this special digipak set comprises previously unreleased remixes
of tracks from the critically acclaimed album ŒRevolution Of The Heart¹. The
remixes include some of the world¹s foremost and pioneering remixers
including Sharooz, John B, The Young Punx and long time collaborator dba.
The DVD contains specially commissioned 5.1 surround mixes along with
stunning visuals. The DVD is at it¹s best when using a 5.1 surround system
when the visuals and the full 5.1 mixes can be fully enjoyed. It can also be
played on modern pc¹s, which simulate the 5.1 experience.
This new 5.1 DVD sees Howard Jones exploring new sound technology, and with
the accompaniment of Stephen W Tayler¹s graphics has created a new
multimedia experience. The combination of surround sound and vision brings a
new dimension to the original tracks and may be a taste of the way we listen
to music in the future .
The Remixers Include
Richard Dekkard is a composer and producer whose talents have been called
upon by top artists ranging from Dido to Seal. During his 16 year career
his remixes and songs have sold more then 16 million copies, and provided a
platform for cutting edge technologies in electronic music. His original
inspiration to choose electronic music as a career was a copy of Howard's
Human¹s Lib album and a Yamaha DX-7.
He is currently living in the Colorado Rockies, and working on a project
known as Karma Harvest while also producing surround sound music and sound
effects for groundbreaking video games with his company Orphic Rez.
Robbie Bronnimann/dba Robbie Bronnimann¹s passion for music & its
associated technologies has had a profound affect on the dance music that he
has poured his energies into for a number of years. Having released numerous
original tracks under the dba name with vocalist Shaz Sparks with the
support of many of the worlds top dj's, he has continued to remix under that
moniker for the likes of Chicane, Ferry Corsten & Love Inc. He has also
developed a second electronic project tektonik^ with producer Andy Ross. His
ongoing work with Howard Jones & particularly the Revolution Of The Heart
album inevitably spawned numerous remixes which are represented on this
album. In recent times he has developed a love of the 5.1 surround format &
it was only a matter of time before he wanted to flex those new skills on
Howard songs which have proved the perfect material for this medium. The
last couple of years have seen him producing albums outside the dance genre
for trash pop duo Industrial Salt and singer songwriter Henry Olonga.
Stephen W Tayler has a long-standing relationship with Howard, having
recorded and mixed ŒHuman¹s Lib¹, ŒDream Into Action¹ and many other
projects. He recently mixed and authored Howard¹s 20th Anniversary Concert
DVD. Stephen currently divides his time between mixing, sound design,
composition and consulting on art installation projects. ³I have always
thought of sound in visual terms, so it feels like a natural progression to
be involved in all aspects of post-production for audio and the moving
image² For more information, visit chimera-arts.com.

. There are worse mixes but also a lot more that are better. To me it is more a big stereo mix, with some nice elements in it. But with electronic music like this album, more can be done.
