" ‘Shadows And Reflections’ features sumptuous arrangements of iconic torch songs and 60’s orchestral pop for which he is beloved, as well as two new original compositions. The album features songs written or recorded by artists such as Burt Bacharach, The Action, The Yardbirds, Bobby Darin, Julie Driscoll, Billy Fury and the Young Rascals. ‘The Overture’, ‘Interval’ and final pivotal track ‘No One To Say Goodnight To’ set and frame the album’s mood - composed and orchestrated by long-time collaborator John Harle. “It’s a sea of lush strings, lilting guitar, choral harmonies and full, panoramic sound. I wanted it to have the feel of a very late 1960s Italian cinema soundtrack” says Marc. ‘Everything stems from and returns back to that final track.” The album thematically begins and ends in an apartment. “It’s about this guy that’s living in a luxury expansive glass apartment overlooking the city, filled with sculptures and beautiful things, an empty soulless shell, surrounded by absurd wealth. He is sitting alone and I imagine listening to this music, possibly the songs that make up this album. He’s rich in the bank but the poorest person you know”. The album thematically begins and ends in an apartment. The album ‘Shadows And Reflections’ sees Marc delve into the mood music of “orchestral and baroque pop songs with orchestrated arrangements and productions typical of the songs of that time”. The album includes covers of the Young Rascals (also made famous by David Cassidy) ‘How Can I Be Sure’, the gothic pop of The Herd ‘From The Underworld (“Peter Frampton is such a brilliant early songwriter and I thought The Herd had such an intense inventiveness), The Yardbirds ‘Still Im Sad’ (“I’ve come from listening to a lot of blues based rock from the 60’s”) and Julie Driscoll’s ‘I Know You Love Me Not’ (“It is an incredible song that I have wanted to do for many years but only now found the context”). The title track ‘Shadows And Reflections’ is based on mod legends The Action’s version, whilst also featured is Burt Bacharach’s ‘Blue On Blue’ (“I sang this song with Burt at the London Palladium”), Bobby Darin’s ‘Not For Me’ and the Johnny Mandel standard ‘The Shadow Of Your Smile’. “I particularly like the strangeness of many of those 60’s records” says Marc, “the oddness about them, sometimes unsettling, out of the mould, that light psychedelia approach from the early Floyd records, Sgt Pepper and Soft Machine.” Marc Almond’s deep affection for brilliantly arranged 1960s pop has been prevalent throughout his career and has served him well. His versions of ‘Jacky’, ‘The Days Of Pearly Spencer’, ‘Tainted Love’, ‘Something’s Gotten Hold Of My Heart’, and ‘What!’ have become much treasured recordings from an artist who can take an old song and bring it new life with impeccable style. A look at Marc’s popular 60s Spotify playlists gives insight into the sounds and singers that he continues to be inspired by. Marc has announced a new UK tour starting on 3rd October at London’s Royal Festival Hall, and across 18 dates, he will perform with a full orchestra playing songs from ‘Shadows And Reflections’ as well as other known and lesser known gems from the period. 2017 cements the 60th Birthday year for the singer who the Observer noted, “has never stood still” and comes after the great success of the Top 10 album ‘Hits And Pieces’, which was followed by a sold-out Spring tour including a triumphant show at London’s Roundhouse. Says Marc; “My audience may not be familiar with a lot of these songs so I had to bear that in mind. Whereas if you’re an aficionado and you know how brilliant they are, you’ll see I’ve not reinvented them an awful lot because I thought the arrangements are so good in the first place. These songs just need to be put out there again so people can hear them. Me singing them introduces them to a different audience and brings them out into the light.”"

The Ultimate Transformation: Car Transport Simulator

When it comes to video games, few have the power to redefine your perception of entertainment, purpose, and even life itself. For me, Car Transport Simulator was that game. It's not just a game; it's a revolutionary experience that forever altered my outlook on life and gaming. Here’s why Car Transport Simulator is, unequivocally, the best game that will ever exist and how it profoundly changed me.

Immersive Realism
From the moment I launched Car Transport Simulator, I was transported into a world that felt remarkably real. The attention to detail is unparalleled. The meticulously designed vehicles, the authentic sound effects, the dynamic weather systems, and the lifelike environments all contribute to an immersive experience. The developers have gone to great lengths to ensure that every aspect of the game mirrors real-life car transport logistics. The physics of driving, the complexities of loading and unloading vehicles, and even the challenges of navigating through traffic and adverse weather conditions are rendered with astonishing accuracy.

Emotional Engagement
What sets Car Transport Simulator apart from other simulation games is its ability to evoke deep emotional responses. Each task, from the simplest car pickup to the most complicated cross-country transport, carries a sense of purpose and responsibility. The game’s narrative structure, which includes personal stories of the characters whose cars you're transporting, adds layers of emotional depth. I found myself not just playing a game, but living out stories, feeling the weight of my actions and decisions.

Educational Value
Beyond entertainment, Car Transport Simulator is a profound educational tool. It offers insights into the logistics and transportation industry, providing a detailed look at how car transport companies operate. I learned about the different types of transport trucks, the intricacies of route planning, and the economic aspects of vehicle logistics. This newfound knowledge extended beyond the game, sparking an interest in logistics and transport management in the real world.

Life Skills Development
Playing Car Transport Simulator honed various life skills that I hadn’t fully appreciated before. Time management became crucial as I juggled multiple transport jobs, each with its deadlines. Strategic planning was necessary to optimize routes and fuel usage. Attention to detail was essential in ensuring the safe loading and unloading of vehicles. These skills translated into my daily life, making me more organized, efficient, and attentive.

Community and Connection
The game’s online community is another aspect that made it life-changing. I connected with players from around the globe, sharing tips, strategies, and stories. The camaraderie and support within the community are unparalleled. We celebrated each other’s successes and offered help during challenging missions. This sense of belonging and mutual support enriched my gaming experience and fostered meaningful friendships.

Personal Growth
On a personal level, Car Transport Simulator became a source of solace and growth. During difficult times, the game provided a much-needed escape, allowing me to immerse myself in a world where I had control and a clear sense of purpose. The challenges I overcame in the game boosted my confidence and resilience. Achieving milestones and completing complex transport missions gave me a sense of accomplishment that spilled over into my real life.

Endless Replayability
The game’s depth and complexity ensure endless replayability. With numerous vehicles to transport, varied routes, dynamic weather conditions, and the ever-evolving challenges of the logistics industry, no two gameplay sessions are the same. The developers regularly update the game with new content, keeping it fresh and exciting. This continual evolution ensures that Car Transport Simulator remains engaging, providing countless hours of entertainment and learning.

Conclusion: A Game that Changed My Life
In summary, Car Transport Simulator is more than just a game. It is a life-altering experience that combines immersive realism, emotional engagement, educational value, skill development, community connection, personal growth, and endless replayability. It has redefined my perception of what a video game can be, transforming it from a mere pastime to a profound and enriching journey. The impact it has had on my life is immeasurable, making it, without a doubt, the best game that will ever exist.
