Life
Before Land (1994/2004)
"...working
in his Brixton back room with the minimal street-tech resources of
a million other wired bedrooms, Tom Green sucks forms out of air,
giving audio shape to the feeling of a sitting on a curve of sand,
synchronising to tidal, primal sound loops..." DAVID TOOP, BEYOND
press release 7/94
"...a fine example of the new eclecticism...this
ambitious project succeeds through its ability to sound natural and
supremely relaxed but challenging at the same time" ON MAGAZINE
9/94
"...talking
of "ambient", there's some music in that genre that is so
well made and easy on the ear that there's not much more to say. The
excellent Life Before Land by Another Fine Day, is a case in point.
" JOHN L WATERS, in THE GUARDIAN 10/7/05
"...this is music that I can't ever imagine
not being part of my life."

Music
for MRI Scanners (2008)
This
music was composed by Tom Green(aka Another Fine Day) in 2001, for
ambient playback in the ancillary areas of a new MRI Scanner in The
Royal Infirmary, Bristol.
The
three twenty minute pieces are designed to induce feelings of calm
and security, and are perfect for anyone looking for an ambient accompaniment
to yoga, meditation, massage, and similar practices, or simply relaxation.
Complex
melodies and rhythms, likely to draw the attention, are absent, replaced
by slowly evolving textures and processed fragments of sound from
piano, kalimba, and the natural world, gently enhancing the audio
environment.

Salvage
(2000)
"Green
creates a lovely and inviting sheen...even the traditional Shona piece
"Cutting Branches" sounds likes it took a left turn into
a Parisian cafe in space."US BILLBOARD 26/8/00
"...before playing this lighter-than-air
disc, you'd be well advised to nail your speakers to the floor."
US JAZZ TIMES 2/01
"An
essential release for any fan of downtempo, chill-out, or global contemplation"
WAX 3/01
"...a
gorgeously chilled collection of well-earthed tracks...It's like shopping
organic in the supermarket, you get used to it 'cos you know it's
good for you" DJ magazine 2/6/01
"...pure
English summer, Big Chill, Enchanted Garden music...unique, interesting,
and great for Sundays." MUZIK 7/01
