The production of the approximately 80-minute concept album is a rare undertaking in today's music landscape. With analog signal processing throughout from the microphone to the vinyl pressing, the production of "A Memory Of Our Future" is a manifesto of precision and passion that can be felt in every note of the album. The mastering of the analog magnetic tape by Greg Calbi at the renowned Sterling Sound Studio in New York and the vinyl cutting at Emil Berliner Studios are a symbol of the album's audiophile excellence. With a setup that is rarely found in current music production, and with which the band has captured a warmth and liveliness in their music that is often lost in digital recordings, the Soulmates have created a work of musical diversity that ranges from prog to jazz rock, and combines compositional maturity, playful lightness and artistic solos with great tension and profound lyrics on socio-political topics. The cross-generational supergroup of rock and fusion grandmasters with Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), Mike Stern, Al di Meola, Randy Brecker, Till Brönner, Bill Evans, John Helliwell (Supertramp), Cory Henry, Richard Bona, Steve Bailey, Simon Phillips (Toto), Leslie Mandoki, Tony Carey (Rainbow), Nick van Eede (Cutting Crew), Jesse Siebenberg and Mark Hart (both Supertramp) use the album to call for action against division and for humanity. With "A Memory Of Our Future" the Soulmates achieve a unique fusion of audiophile excellence and socio-politically relevant music. This album is not only for fans of prog and jazz rock, but for everyone who appreciates real music.
