The upcoming release of his debut album "Second Coming' [on MAMi Music/VMG/Universal]. The title of this album is personal and conveys his reluctance over the years to assume his birthright as Lord of the House, Trip Hop, Hip Hop, R&B, Lounge music scenes.
"Second Coming" is also about a sleeping nation of people who have ventured into the poppy fields on thier way to Oz.. and who now are slowly awakening to what has happened and taking our positions to do what we came here to do in the first place.
"I have seen and studied many artists over the years and there is something missing in a lot of what i hear, some connection that is just not bridged. I am here to bridge that chasm between the music of Heaven and Earth." says Lord Algie, "Music and Fashion go hand in hand.. music is the vision of the mind.. without sight, complete with landscapes, peaks and valleys, dark and light.." " I hope you hear me."
Lord Algie has a loyal following of some 100,000 people around the world who have subscribed to his publications MAMi Magazine and the new Traffic Magazine as well as many fans of his unique style of music production orchestration and djing.. This release scheduled for early 2008 is destined to be a CLASSIC album in the pages of music history. STAY TUNED!
