ANCIENT FUTURE
Ancient Future is the world's first and longest running ensemble dedicated to the creation of world fusion music; more than a million samplers and 150,000 full length releases featuring Ancient Future have been sold. While Ancient Future started as a set group of four musicians, today it is a large musical family of 19 different world music masters with nine different fully rehearsed ensemble variations performing concerts. Led by guitarist Matthew Montfort, Ancient Future has been continuously performing for almost 25 years, averaging over 35 concerts annually. The group has a major Internet presence on over 100 sites, and Ancient Future simultaneously held eight #1 positions on MP3.com in eight different world music categories and a song in the overall MP3 Top 40 Chart along with artists such as Madonna and Blink 182.

PLANET PASSION
The seventh Ancient Future recording is more than music; it is designed as a romantic gift for the spring and summer wedding, Christmas, and Valentine's 2003 seasons. PLANET PASSION is both a CD and gift card, including a heart-shaped space for writing a love note on the inside booklet pocket. Given the group's amazing heritage, it should come as no surprise that each track on PLANET PASSION features a different line-up of musicians; one tune even includes Ancient Future's original 1978 ensemble. As always, Ancient Future's music is an exhilarating fusion of breath-taking melodies and sounds from around the world. PLANET PASSION combines contemporary jazz and rock influences with exciting rhythms and instrumentation from Africa, India, Asia, South America and the Middle East. Each consummate player within Ancient Future brings something special to the project, using their unique skills to create something new, fresh and very appealing. Note: an Echoes "Livingroom Concert" has been taped of live PLANET PASSION selections to be broadcast in 2002, on over 170 radio stations.

HOW TO BUY:
PLANET PASSION is available for sale at national music chains and indie music/book stores, from e-tailers like amazon.com and CDBaby.com, and at the group's own site: www.ancient-future.com.

- Lee Starkey, East West Bookshop
    
"Guitarist Matthew Montfort gathered some of the best of the Bay Area's world fusion luminaries
