TRIBE ALBUM UPDATE
The recording of the first Tribe music album enters its final week this week in New Zealand. The songwriting-producers John William and Matt Prime are due to fly out from New Zealand at the end of the week and are having final recording sessions during breaks in the production schedule with cast members to complete the songs on the album.
The six weeks previous have been tremendously productive and there are some wonderful songs on the album. All the music tracks for each song need to be mixed and some of this will be done in London. John Williams and Matt Prime also plan to return to New Zealand in the near future for final mixing. The cast have really enjoyed recording and can’t wait to hear the results as the songs move through the next stages toward being completed!
We will advise about a release date for the Tribe album as soon as we can – this will be in the year 2000 (but we will provide regular updates on the main website before then).
We also hope to offer some downloads with previews of music on the Tribe album – and the music videos that were made in New Zealand a few weeks ago – as well as other music from the series and the theme tune “The Dream Must Stay Alive” – this will all be accessible through Tribe Store on the website and members of the Official Tribe Fan Club will have special offers – more details to follow in the first Tribe Fanzine.
