30th August 2024, Tony Lowe, and Sunn Creative release the ninth ESP Project album, ‘Silver Waves – Astral Dreams’. Written and performed by multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer Tony Lowe in collaboration with singer/songwriter Louise Browne and just under 60 minutes; this dynamic album imparts an atmosphere of progressive enchantment as Louise Browne’s angelic vocals weave through intense, diverse soundscapes accompanied by Tony’s soulful guitar lines and intricate keyboard playing. A combination of haunting serenity and passion, with stirring rhythms and heartfelt lyrics, the album invites the listener to let the music and lyrics wash over them, like the light of the moon. Guest musicians on selected tracks include Steve Gee on bass, Paul Simon on percussion, and Cheryl Stringall on keyboards. Album art by Cheryl Stringall.

“Multi-instrumentalist Tony Lowe’s wide ranging CV runs from Toyah Willcox to Pet Shop Boys. Silver Waves ~ Astral Dreams (sunncreative.com) is the ninth album from his ESP Project, and it’s a beautiful, melodic, rococo gem. Louise Browne’s ethereal vocals add feel throughout (Curious Dreamer; Love Returns) while spacey instrumental Life Pod lets Lowe and band show off their seasoned chops. One for fans of Steve Hackett and Mostly Autumn alike.’’ - Grant Moon, PROG Magazine

Many thanks to Alain Succa and Big Bang Magazine for this excellent review ... "positive music of the kind that sends us back to the infinite in which our mind gets lost while listening to it, daughter of the spiritual world, illuminated by the day of the sky, animated by a divine breath ... Silver Waves ~ Astral Dreams is not the most progressive album of the ESP Project, but it is one of the most enchanting and sophisticated, sublimated by a weightless Louise Browne." - Alain Succa - Full Review - Translated PDF - http://esp-project.com/silver-wavesastral-dreams-review-big-bang-magazine-france/

“Thank God, thank God for music” sang Ringo Starr. Enter Silver Waves ~ Astral Dreams, the ninth ESP Project studio album written and performed by Tony Lowe in collaboration with singer and songwriter Louise Browne. What a stunning album it is, too. Ravishing melodies recline on the most sumptuous, gorgeous soundscapes and the siren call of the music captivates, caresses, seduces and enchants, lifting you up above the drudgery and mundanity of the present. It whispers in your ear: ‘it doesn’t have to be like this’. And then, across 8 tracks and just under sixty minutes, it takes you by the hand and shows you why.

"What a stunning album it is…Ravishing melodies, gorgeous soundscapes, and seductive music which captivates, enchants, and lifts the soul…one of my top recommendations for 2024." Rob Fisher – The Progressive Aspect & Prog Radar

“It’s just stunning … absolutely superb!” Shaun Geraghty – Progzilla

"With each album ESP Project unlock another piece of magic … ‘Silver Waves ~ Astral Dreams’ is simply magnificent." Garry Foster - Prog Rock Files - WCR FM

"I get a strong lunar vibe from the album, which is cosmic at times and even primal (at the beginning of Curious Dreamer). Louise has a really great voice and it's suited to Tony's style of writing music. My favourite track is the atmospheric Shine, with its dark, cosmic opening and Gilmour-like guitar with the subtle syth work in the background where the understated vocals are highly effective." Gareth Page - Prog Blog

** All downloads come with a digital bonus track - 'Shine Ambient Mix' on album release.
