When in Rome had a No. 1 hit single in the USA called 'The Promise'. It was released in 1988. In 2004, 'The Promise' was used as the end title theme for the successful movie, 'Napoleon Dynamite'. Due to unfortunate legal issues over the name 'When In Rome', Clive decided to go ahead with a solo album...
The new album exhibits a fusion of styles; blending classical orchestral elements with a modern day electronic sound... as an addition to this, 'Independence' also boasts a hint of the 80's too! It's already receiving extensive radio play and TMR Records have just negotiated and licensed two of the tracks to GAP (Mexico) for use on their latest compilation CD. Some of the album's tracks could be classed as a cross between the 'Pet Shop Boys', David Guetta, Scott Walker and Robert Miles. The songs are honest, suitably original and highly emotive.
The new album 'INDEPENDENCE' is released on TMR (Tough Monkey Records) through Kobalt Label Services / AWAL on July 4th 2013.

Clive: "I met Jon whilst working as a Technical Install Manager at Castle Rock Studios in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, UK. The CRS studio was being built by the fabulous TSP (The Studio People). At the same time, and unbeknown to me, a smaller version on the same design level as CRS was being built right around the corner from my home in Stockport, Cheshire, UK! The builders on that project would come by CRS and tell me about Jon Brooks and how he's into film score projects... Right up my street, I thought!!! Jon has a Masters in Composition for Film and Television. He had just relocated back to the UK after spending six years working as an in-house composer for one of the best audio post-production studios in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He specialised in music composition and audio production for film, television and advertising. I wanted to get to know him and maybe put something together. I dropped by Jon's studio and left my card with his father. Jon called me a week later, and now... just listen to the new album and breathe in the fabulous results!"
The new album 'INDEPENDENCE' is released on TMR (Tough Monkey Records) through Kobalt Label Services / AWAL on July 4th 2013.
Jon and I are very excited to announce that 'Showdown' and 'Invisible' have been chosen for forthcoming music compilations for GAP Clothing in Mexico. The CD compilations will be available within GAP Stores throughout the Mexican territory. We believe that all GAP outlets will offer this as a special gift with purchases over a certain amount* (amount* TBC).
We would like to thank Roger Beltranrussell, Paty Carrera and Ale Carrera for their support in closing this deal.
