AARON ENGLISH IS SIGNED TO PROGROCK RECORDS AND RELEASES “ALL THE WATERS OF THIS WORLD” Rancho Santa Margarita, CA – 4 March 2003 -- All the Waters of This World is the self-produced debut album from Seattle-based piano-vocalist Aaron English. His style is rock, but progressive and cosmopolitan: "world-beat" in the vein of Peter Gabriel, Paul Simon, and Sting. The scope of the album is epic, the five-piece band often augmented by full string orchestrations, Middle Eastern or West African drum ensembles, a mariachi band, hurdy-gurdy through a wah-wah pedal or didjeridu layered with programmed beats. To bring All the Waters of This World into the world, English built a studio in a ninety-year-old barn in Seattle and, together with co-producer/bandmates Patrick Strole and Don Gunn, spent a year recording over 400 hours of tracks for the album and tackling the massive task of post-production and mixing. Other core contributors included New Yorkers Meredith Yayanos (violin), Aerin Tedesco (vocals) and Miguel Mateus (bass), who flew into Seattle for several weeks of song arrangement, rehearsal and recording. “Thanks to ProgRock Records for providing recording artists and music fans with a little piece of Shangri-La: a record label that celebrates and supports a global renaissance of ambitious, uncompromising, visionary rock music. This new enterprise is clearly a labor of love. So is my music; Thanks for welcoming it into the fold!" said Aaron English. Shawn Gordon, President of ProgRock Record had this to say, “From the opening notes of Sea of Nectar, the opening track of the album, I was just hooked. I kept grabbing friends and family and making them listen to the song, and the entire album after that. Sometimes music will just ‘grab you’, and for me All the Waters of This World is one of those albums, I just can’t stop listening to it. I just love having Aaron on the label.” All the Waters of This World is available for immediate order and delivery from ProgRock Records.
