Release Notes:

ANTI ATLAS .. THE BIGGEST COLLABORATIVE CHILL OUT IN THE WORLD?

NED AND CHRIS AND GUSTAV AND CLAUDE, ANTONIN AND ANTON, AND GIACOMO AND RICHARD
AND A CAST OF THOUSANDS.

On August 20, Anti Atlas release 'Between Voices', the second of two
complementary album releases on the independent label One Little Indian. The
first, 'Between Two', was released in March.

Unique unions of electronica, subtle beats and epic orchestral soundscapes, both
albums were formed from the collaboration between two exceptional talents-
classically trained composer Ned Bigham and producer/artist manager Chris
Hufford.

'Between Voices', however, moves the focus away from instrumentation and instead
turns its attention to the dynamic power of the voice, adding a third key aural
element to the mix.

Featuring vocalists from 8 countries, the album is all the more remarkable
because it was put together in a gloriously freeform manner. Inspired partly by
the diversity of the two classic This Mortal Coil albums, Ned and Chris got a
list of singers they liked from all over the world and simply sent them the
instrumental music over which they hoped the vocalists would extemporise. The
results were magical, all the more so because each singer independently chose a
different track as inspiration. Given a totally free hand, the singers surpassed
expectations, coming up with vocals that totally surprised the two creators. In
one case, the Norwegian vocalist Kristin Fjellseth did her vocals in her native
language meaning Ned and Chris ended up editing a track on which they had no
idea of the meaning of the lyrics!

Nevertheless, the finished album sounds as cohesive a record as it is possible
to make, perhaps due to the collaborative nature at the essence of all the
groups work. For this is not the first Anti Atlas music to be released. In the
mid 1990s the duo released first an EP and then an album and were at first
unaware of any ripples they had caused. However soon a wonderful show called The
Chiller Cabinet, broadcast by Classic FM in the wee small hours of the morning,
picked up on this idiosyncratic music which seemed to sit so well with
everything else they played, Steve Reich, film soundtracks etc. Soon the
programme communicated to Anti Atlas that they would play any new music that
they provided and that is exactly what happened. Now constricted by time, as
Chris was abroad a lot with Radiohead, the duo would finish tracks at weekends
and send them directly into the show, which would broadcast them straight away.

In this way word spread further and the duo realised that there was an audience
for their sonic experiments.

'Anti Atlas' music sucks you into a unique universe of atmosphere and reward. It
reminds me a lot of Eno's best work.. Jonh Ingham, writer

Anti Atlas are a gem. They deserve to be massive..
Rosie Kendrick, The Late Lounge.

Now comes the latest new music from the duo and their cast of thousands. For
these two albums surely feature the most musicians ever brought together on
record .. probably 10,000 when you count the diverse composers and recordings
represented here. Because, in amongst the contemporary sounds, you will hear
references and homages to Mahler, Debussy, Dvorak, Puccini, Bruckner, Wagner and
Holst, amongst others. Not for nothing was Mahler called the true father of
ambient music..here we find he and his contemporaries distilled into a mix which
transports their music to another realm.

Chris Hufford is well-known in the music industry as the manager of Radiohead,
Supergrass and Gemma Hayes, who features on this album. What might not be so
well-known is that he produced early tracks by artists including Radiohead, a
group he would help steer to massive global success.

However, it was whilst producing cult acid jazz band D- Influence that Chris
forged a working relationship with classically trained composer Ned Bigham. Ned
studied composition and electronics at Trinity College of Music in Londo
