Brian Dean

Brian Auger's Oblivion Express was the phoenix that rose from the ashes of sixties combo The Trinity. Fusing R&B, jazz, soul and funk, keyboard maestro Brian Auger created a new breed of music that took the US and the UK by storm. Auger's unique experimentation culminated in rhythm-infused jazz funk that united Black and white '70s audiences.
The 6 studio albums that make up Complete Oblivion illustrate the group's diverse musical influences and progression, from the 1970 self titled debut's heavy jazz- rock to the jazz fusion, latin and disco tinged Reinforcements from 1975 - this process no doubt powered by the groups' evolving line up, which included guitarists Jim Mullen and Jack Mills, drummers Robbie McIntosh & Steve Ferrone, bassists Barry Dean and Clive C h a m a n and vocalist Alex Ligertwood.

Immediately recognisable and impossible to imitate, Dean is his own master and his strikingly unique, signature sound brings an extraordinary edge to his feature,game and trailer scores.
Dean’s film credits include the breathtaking epic 'Viking' [recorded with The Orchestra Of Ireland] ,the dark and bruising drama 'Tiger Raid' [starring Brian Gleeson and Sofia Boutella] ,the multi-award winning 'Violet' [Aidan Gillen] ,'Putin' for SDG films and the award winning trilogy of features about Holocaust survivor Tomi Reichental.His new album ‘Ventricular Beats’ [based on his Tiger Raid score] has just been released on vinyl by DixonBaxiEvans. Dean has also composed scores and songs for many 26 & 52 part animation series for clients such as Disney, Brown Bag Films ,Ink And Light Films and RTE.

It's hard to believe 12 years have passed since Pet Projects: The Brian Wilson Productions, one of Ace's first releases in their much-admired Producers series. Not before time, Wilson now joins such greats as Randy Newman, Laura Nyro, Goffin & King, Dan Penn, Bacharach & David, Jackie DeShannon and Serge Gainsbourg in their equally high profile Songwriters series. The collection opens with 'Do You Have Any Regrets?' by Darian Sahanaja of the Wondermints, a rare composition from Wilson's unissued Sweet Insanity album of the early 90s. While Wilson's version was a rather frantic latin-styled piece, Sahanaja's recording is an homage to the 1965-era Beach Boys.
