Island Noises by Poor Genetic Material

Island Noises is a double concept album based on The Tempest by William Shakespeare. Yet, the album does not try to re-tell the plot but rather explores certain ideas, atmospheres and characters of the original play and so becomes a work in its own right. “Why Shakespeare?” “Why The Tempest?” you may ask. Well, there’s a sorcerer, a spirit of the air, a monstrous creature, there is romance and attempted murder, it’s about the stuff that dreams are made of ... sounds like a prog-concept album? – Exactly!
