About Me

This is the second Flying Space release. Click here for the FIRST release (Losing My Mind). "Take Hold of My Hand" is Ambient Dance Material and World Music. As a friend said..... "Around the World in 52 minutes". So we start in the deserts of North Africa, move to Moscow, then back in time into the French Impressionist era. Then whizz back to the origins of Drum & Bass in England. Then off to Tokyo for a taste of the traditional and dramatic Japanese stage, to finish, with a gentle smooch that ends the journey with no hard feelings. :) We also take in a Dark Flamenco and tripped out experimental, WITH a brief sojourn into outer space along the way. Weird? Or just FUN? Maybe BOTH.

"Take Hold of My Hand" was Produced, recorded and Written by Timothy Charles with help from other musicians passing through over a TEN year period. It is all about approaching music as an artist approaches a canvas. Different textures, Colours and Hues. All must be sampled and tasted, and ANYTHING is up for grabs. There are simply NO rules. So clearly, these ain't no pop songs. LOL! We hope you enjoy the journey, and that it relaxes you and surprises you in equal measure.
Watch this space [sic] for news of the Hard Copy CD release and to the Digital Distribution Network. Due August 2007. Bon Voyage.
With our warmest regards,
Timothy @ Flying Space
And all the RUMusic Team.
