deep sky divers - OM79623July 2005:- Orange Music release deep sky divers CD in south-east Asia

After the recent success of the London 2012 Olympic bid in Singapore, UK ambient/chillout artists DEEP SKY DIVERS have followed up with their own success story from that part of the World. Singapore based record label ORANGE MUSIC have released "Deep Sky Divers", a collection of eleven chilled-out inspirational tracks selected from the first 5 deep sky divers CDs. Released in mid-July, this CD will be available in 6 territories in south-east Asia through outlets such as Sembawang, HMV, Tower Records etc...

deep sky divers are an electronic music duo (Jon Short and writing collaborator David Jones) from Sheffield, England. True independent artists and cottage-industrialists, they have been releasing CDs on their own Anyrobinhood label since initial success on the music download site MP3.COM inspired them to give up their day jobs and go with the musical flow. Tracks like "Raging Calm" and "Skylander" have achieved international recognition and established the duo as leading UK exponents of the ambient/new age genre.

deep sky divers music is well established in the USA where, even without music industry support, they sell most of their CDs - thanks to supportive press reviews and radio airplay on shows like ECHOES and HEARTS OF SPACE. Their music is, however, virtually unknown in their own country.

The ORANGE MUSIC release (OM79623) is the first licensed release of DEEP SKY DIVERS music anywhere in the World.

Here is ORANGE MUSIC's own press release:

Orange Music is proud to present DEEP SKY DIVERS, a collection of eleven chilled-out inspirational tracks. The collaborative effort of Jon Short and David Jones, their music blends the melodicism of adult contemporary music and classical new age, together with the breeziness of non-urban smooth jazz and electronic keyboards of electronic music. Depending on the track, their music shines both brightly and softly, but the music is always illuminating and wholly enjoyable, in both their simplicity and jaw-dropping beauty. Dive deep into their music with this greatest collection of Deep Sky Divers today.

DEEP SKY DIVERS is an electronic music duo from Northern England. Jon Short and writing collaborator David Jones have been creating and performing atmospheric electronic instrumental soundscapes since the early 1990's. The duo created music inspired by life experience, by landscape and their interaction with it. Their music first came to prominence on MP3.COM in 2000, the positive response was a revelation, and their debut became the #1 selling CD by a UK artist on MP3.COM. Since then, they have released 5 well received CDs on their own label. They have performed live at festivals throughout the UK and have composed music for several UK TV programmes.
