TRIBE MUSIC
Get a download of this – we are delighted to offer some music extracts form the first Tribe album on the Tribeworld website!
There are two tracks – “Abe Messiah” and “This is the place” – and both are inspired by the Tribe, both feature in Tribe Series 2, and have been especially written by the songwriter-producers, John Williams and Matt Prime.
Abe Messiah – this is about some very important story developments that shape Series 2 and are crucial to the future of the Mall Rats and the world of the Tribe as a whole. We cannot reveal too much more for now so as not to spoil the storylines for viewers in the UK and worldwide!
The song is performed by all members of the Tribe cast and SALENE), Meryl Cassie (EBONY), Caleb Ross (LEX) and the rest of the cast performing.
This Is The Place – this track features in one of the back-story episodes in Series 2 and on the website is the first public broadcasting of this track from the album. The song is performed by Caleb Ross (LEX), Dwayne Cameron (BRAY) and Danny James (ZOOT).
There are QuickTime 4 and Real Audio versions available.
