Island Noises is a double concept album based on The Tempest by William Shakespeare. Yet, the album does not try to re-tell the but rather explores certain ideas, atmospheres and characters plot of the original play and so becomes a work in its own right. “Why Shakespeare?” “Why The Tempest?” you may ask. Well, there’s a sorcerer, a spirit of the air, a monstrous creature, there is romance and attempted murder, it’s about the stuff that dreams are made on ... sounds like a prog-concept album? – Exactly!

- In times when many bands have stopped putting out Cds and the idea album concept seems to be dying, here we are with a double concept album. 98 minutes to tell a story.

- Islands Noises sees the collaboration of Philip Griffiths with his father Martin, the legendary Beggar’s Opera singer. Martin not only lend us his voice for the recitations, he also provided the artwork for the cover and booklet.
