M-Opus

Hi there,
My name is Jonathan; I'm a TV/Film music composer and performer here in Ireland. 

I sang and wrote with David Cross (King Crimson) on a couple of albums; Closer Than Skin (of which, Sid Smith said "the most coherent and artistically successful album of rock songs released by the ex-Crim alumni") and Alive In The Underworld. Back then, I called myself 'Arch Stanton'. Does that ring a bell from a certain film?

Now I have my own band, we're called M-Opus. We have an album coming out in the New Year, called 1975 Triptych. Here's a trailer for it...

Hope you like it!
All the best, Jonathan

	Hey, The album is about 50 minutes long (though only three songs, ha!). It's all finished, just waiting until after Xmas to release it. Cheers, J

	Thanks for the heads up. I have been wanting to buy some good Irish music for awhile now. Any chance of getting the new album on vinyl, which would be rather appropriate, given the reference to 1975?

	You know, I would absolutely love to get vinyls, but when we looked into it, the costs were just too high - for the moment. I'm hoping that if there's enough interest, we will get to produce vinyl copies. In the last few years, I've managed to convert my whole family to the greatness of vinyl.
