Cinematic Sea by Another Story
The album is all instrumental but diverse enough to hold the listener's interest throughout its 49 minutes. Tracks such as Algo Espagnol, Sweet Complication, Coral See, Haunted and Burning Inside explore somewhat epic territory referencing a range of influences from The Shadows, The Ventures, Dick Dale to Jeff Beck and Pink Floyd. Only One and Island are more intimate offerings - the latter featuring a great soprano sax break from guest musician Philippe Conus. Count Me Out, originally composed with a short film in mind, mixes 5/4 jazz with musique concrete to interesting effect. Finally, the heart and soul of the album is provided by the three guitar-led instrumentals Island Hopping, Pacific Reverie and Floating on a Wave, which leave the listener in no doubt about this recording's tropical inspirations.

Another Story began with Steve Malkin (keyboards, programming, engineering) and Henry Jackson (guitars) recording original tunes that lay outside the ambit of their band Portmanteaux ( https://portmanteauxbandmelbourne.com/); this resulted in the CD “Cinematic Sea”. But Another Story is now an established entity; the second CD “Two” includes a diversity of material and five vocal tracks.
