Both my brother and I wrote this track as an homage to the amazing talent of Stevie
Wonder. We used his great phrasing ability as a template for all of the guitar lines
and it proved to be one hell of a challenge to try to play the guitar like he
sings!

My brother wrote this tune after hearing `Drive` by The Cars.
`Drive` was used to accompany footage from the dreadful ethiopia famine which
prompted the first Live Aid concerts.
The solo was played with this in mind and I wanted to express my feelings about what
happened as openly and honestly as possible. Hence the title - `The Truth`.

Training Montage, by Vince Dicola, has to be one of my favourite pieces of music and
it has inspired me since I first saw the film on which it was featured - Rocky IV.
This piece embodies everything that a great piece should, Wonderful melody,
Incredible harmony and that undescribable thing that makes the hairs on the back of
your neck stand on end!

Being an amateur astronomer, I regularly skywatch on clear nights with my treasured
telescope. On one particular night I had the telescope trained on the moon and I
became transfixed by the huge craters. Then I began to wonder, what must it have
been like to be present at the creation of the planets in our solar system? This
track is my representation of that supreme moment in time in musical form.

The films Fletch, Beverly Hills Cop and the common denominator between the two -
Harold Faltermeyer- were the inspiration for this track. Faltermeyer wrote the
classic track `Axel F`, which appeared on the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack and
captured the feel of the film and main character perfectly. The same can also be
said of `Fletch`.
This is our attempt at recreating music of the same nature and never fails to put a
smile on my face every time I hear it!
