While it was originally intended to be straightforward compilation (and is listed as a Best of Vol 3 in some places), it evolved into a journey; a journey through sound and styles reflecting the luminaries of the electronic music genre whose music influenced David and shaped his music since his first album in 1989.
So as a result, it includes a lot of new and previously unreleased music alongside re-recordings of a handful of tracks, so ‘Stranger Days’ is a retrospective in terms of influences and styles.
It has been a labour of love, taking 18 months to complete. It incorporates music from live performances, studio sessions (in some instances overlooked and forgotten!) and reworked tracks and remixes.does contains a lot of new and previously unreleased music. The epic 60 minute title track, for example, is a studio re-imagining of new electronic music originally recorded live at E-Scape 2015 and previously unreleased studio recordings. There are other new tracks recorded between 2012 and 2018, some featuring the beautiful voice of Carys, alongside re-workings of older (some might say obscure?) tracks like ‘Colours of the Night’, ‘Glass Mountains’ (also featuring Carys) and more. It also features previously unreleased music with Robert Fox and Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock.
