We re-issue the original tracks on the 30th of August 2024. Here is a press release from the artist management. >

Ocean Motion was Robin Auld and Z-Astaire's 2nd album for the band line-up. 

Produced in 1985 by Kevin Shirley in Cape Town for Mountain Records, it yielded the number one song All of Woman, along with other top ten songs Sesheke Town and After the Fire

The band's sound had consolidated after several tours and the release propelled them further into national prominence in their home country of South Africa, playing big shows country wide and confirming them as one of the countries top rock music acts. 

The album also showcased the  wider influences of the band and Auld's songwriting in songs such as "Village is a house" and "Walking the wheel". A welcome release of this bands diverse catalogue!

Lesley Rae Dowling and Tully McCully - a new single

South African songstress Lesley Rae Dowling sent shock waves through the local pop music business with her stunningly individual style of vocal delivery when she came on the scene in the early 1980s.  Her producer Tully McCully wrote Grips of Emotion for her and it hit the charts in January 1982.
