TRACKLISTING:

1. ALPHA

2. OMEGA (END TIMES)

Next on M-Plant, Robert Hood presents two new tracks taken from his forthcoming concept album ‘Omega’.

The album is based on the 1971 classic science fiction film, ‘The Omega Man’ starring Charlton Heston and derived from Richard Matheson’s 1954 novel ‘I Am Legend’ (which was recently re-adapted to the big screen).  The album is not intended as an exact soundtrack to run alongside the original film, but Hood was heavily influenced by the movie and has used it as his inspiration.

This album concept is a long-held vision of Hood’s and the film’s stimulus has presented itself both musically here, and even spiritually for him, since he watched it as a child.  Its themes appear even more relevant today and continue to haunt: “it’s definitely metaphoric” says Hood “and if we don't heed the signs, this is where we'll end up.  We live in a society where we just consume.  We just take.  We don't operate on the concept of giving”.

Offering a taste of what’s to come on the album, this first single launches straight into the outstanding ‘Alpha’.  Already, early plays from Hood have provided an indication of just how huge this track will be.  Doubters can witness its dancefloor devastation here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7_hd5s2nP8), when Hood dropped it at Fuse (Belgium) recently.  He doesn’t hold back on ‘Omega (End Times)’ either, with its darker, more ominous quality that will thrill any fans of late night grooving.

With these tracks Hood gives us some of his best work to date and there’s more to look forward to when the ‘Omega’ album is unleashed this summer.
