about

At its height; the British Empire was the largest the world had ever known, and for over a century was the worlds foremost global power. The Empire was initially built upon the trafficking and use of slaves in the North America. Fuelled by the industrial revolution in the 19th century, it expanded dramatically in Africa and Asia, bringing great material wealth. After 1945 the 'wind of change’ and Britain's wartime debt ultimately led to peaceful disengagement from the majority of its territories.

A collaboration between Patrick Lester-Rourke and Stanley Newman; 'The Sun Never Sets...' explores the British Empires great reach and infringement upon cultures all around the world. The album takes the listener on a musical trip, as traditional world music is re-imagined and celebrated through the lens of free improvisation and electronics. Resulting in a varied and thought provoking album.

The album draws influences from the traditional music of the nationalities represented, the fusion music of Miles Davis and the film music of composers such as Vangelis.
