Future Daze (Of MetalBeat) sole member is Ian Price, an experienced creator and innovator of exciting high quality electronic music and eye-catching visuals. Originally from Liverpool (England UK), I worked with a number of bands down the years. Most of these excursions were experimental low-fi electronic affairs.

I like to mix various styles of electronic music, from electro to ambient, industrial soundscapes and beyond. Like everyone we all have different moods, and so does my music.

Influences range from John Foxx, Jean Michel Jarre, to Eric Satie and beyond.

“The artist is the creator of beautiful things. Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty.”
- Wilde, Oscar.

Dorian’s Gray exists to reveal beauty, truth, and art. Their lyrics are often sexually liberating, at other times satirical, and often designed to expose religious hypocrisy. While their music is not designed for any grand socio-political purpose, the artists are not afraid to speak out for what they believe in. With passionate lyrics, gut-wrenching vocals, pulsing synths, devastating bass-lines, and blood-spattering beats, the beauty that is Dorian’s Gray is music for the elect, to whom beautiful things mean only beauty. Dorian’s Gray is a group of artistic individuals working together to create something beautiful through their musical talents. The result is a sound that is entirely their own, somewhere in the gray area between industrial rock, electro, EBM (Electronic Body Music), and trip hop.

"All art is at once surface and symbol"
- Wilde, Oscar.

Dorian’s Gray represents the shadow of Dorian Gray, a man whose soul is not reflected by his body, but by a portrait of his very soul. With the upcoming release of their double album, A Picture of Sin and The Sin Itself, Dorian’s Gray creates a picture of life’s shadows, sorrows, its trials and tribulations, with some hint of its pleasures, and beauty

"All art is quite useless."
- Wilde, Oscar (The Picture of Dorian Gray)

Simon Collins –“Time for Truth”
Simon Collins, 28, was born in London, England. He, along with his mother and sister relocated to Vancouver, Canada when he was five. It was at that time that his father, rock legend Phil Collins, began teaching him how to play the drums. Simon spent a great deal of time on tour with Genesis and his father. It was then and there that he honed his skills as a competent drummer. Now it has become self evident that he inherited his father’s ability as a performer, composer and musician on drums, piano and
vocals. By the age of fourteen he began composing and producing his own material on the path of his own solo career. In 2000 Simon relocated from his home in Vancouver, Canada to Germany where his debut album "All of Who You Are" released on WEA Records immediately entered the German charts. The LP was released in over 30 countries worldwide, selling over 100,000 copies in Germany alone. The first single "Pride" was charted all over Eastern and Western Europe. The second single "Shine Through" co-written with Howard Jones, also became an instant radio hit.
With Simon relocating back to Canada, we present his second LP "Time for Truth" revealing a greater artistic depth that was not heard on the previous record. It proves him to be prolific not only as a singer/songwriter but also as a producer and multi-instrumentalist. Picking up where his father left off, Simon Collins has created a record that people can escape into and which has the timeless feeling that can only be captured by great song writing. He has the talent and the creative insight to confidently follow in his father’s footsteps while leading his own generation toward a new perspective and positive outlook. "Time for Truth" is a sonic evolution. It is an album written with the message from the current point of view that we all share as a new generation on the planet. A theme that searches for the common spiritual and celestial ground we all share with each other. Simon achieves his message through vast soundscapes and lush ambient plateaus, driven by a fusion of both electronic and organic beats, while interweaving heavy influences of Euro-trance and techno. Simon has embraced his electronic roots with this recording and in turn written strong, confident material that swirl in pop harmonies, generating a contemporary style of new wave.
With musical high lights such as the title track and epic opener "Time for Truth", and the sensitive and heartfelt ballad "Hold On" plus the alluring and hook filled "Out on the Playa", the listener is lead on a journey through time space and left with contemplative thought and irresistible melodies. Think of the lush and precise production of "Massive Attack" and "Depeche Mode" with the inspired and uplifting song writing of "Cold Play" and "Radio Head". With sometimes-unorthodox hooks and ambitious arrangements, balanced with clever and well-timed commercial appeal. It is a crafted work of sonic art at many levels. Therefore, It is no wonder that he decided to title the LP "Time for Truth". This new work offers the true vision and multi-faceted artistic capabilities of Simon Collins.
