Product Description

2002 returns with their 18th full-length album, A World Away. The six vocal and four instrumental songs are new and all original, and cover much of 2002 s vast sonic palette- from progressive and pop new age, to their neoclassical and ambient roots. Thematically, the album is a cosmic love story, of kindred spirits traveling together through many times and many worlds, becoming lost and separated from one another, and finally reunited.


Review

To appropriate the title of 2002 s sweeping, soul enveloping latest full length album, that year seemed A World Away when multi-instrumentalists Pamela and Randy Copus launched their incredible two and a half decade run as vocal and instrumental masters of the sweet crossroads where ambient/atmospheric/symphonic new age/neo-classical meets infectious exotic grooves. --Jonathan Widran, The JW Vibe

I can count myself extremely lucky today, as I am now on my second listen of the new album by 2002, I m pretty sure it won t stop there and I am going to make a really bold statement from the off, I rate this to be their best ever album thus far! We start with the outstanding Dream of Life, the vocals of the Copus family here are utterly sublime and Sarah has matured into a singer of supreme quality and she is still only very young, this track would be a fantastic single, apart from the vocal brilliance and sweet harmonies, let s not forget the smooth and soothing keyboards, and the vibrant percussion as well. To Live Again is one of those timeless tracks that you just cannot resist playing many times over and each time you do your body simply tingles with sheer excitement. Randy s vocals are simply amazing and seem to be calling out to us all to live again in this opus of past and future lives. 2002 as a collective have produced another classy composition that once more could easily be a single and a chart topping one at that. Butterfly is their classic signature style and quite brilliant as well. Sarah s vocals remind me in part of the UK Celtic singer Juliana but warmer in complexion. I felt a personal resonance to the mid-way song called Memory of Tomorrow, as only yesterday I sat and wondered about the meaning of life, I watched the trees blow back and forth and listened to their music and said to myself, what if this is all an illusion? This piece of music from this moment forward is going to be firmly in my mind when my muse kicks in for another philosophical debate. Now the standard of musicianship on this track alone is simply the best you could possibly hear, listen to the stings and keyboards and be amazed at the wonderful and gentle symphonic mastery that it draws for us. Stars and Moons is the magical pool created by the Copus family for us all to bathe in, now I said I have many favourites on this release and this is another one of them, the chorus alone deserves a standing ovation for its escalation, build and progression and I think we have another chart topping single here as well. You have one of the best tracks I have heard for a decade. We Are Always is utterly sensual and deeply romantic with every note played. The Stars Will Guide Us is a sensitive arrangement, so pristine and caring, its energy to me seems to be one of a constant rebirth, the feeling from the tone and essence of the overall ethic of the piece is one that says, we may lose our paths along the way, but allow the stars to guide us and we will be where we are meant to be in the end. The Space Between is a special composition for me. I have listened to this one several times now and I feel a certain freedom of spirit from it each time I do so, this is deeply meditative and restful and very similar to my meditations to the void, or perhaps I can now call it The Space Between. The last track of the album is a wonderful last gift entitled Strings of Your Heart. This is simply the ideal piece to leave the release with, just listen to the amazing vocals from the entire family on this one, the production of this arrangement is true genius. This is one very stirring offering that enables us the listener to leave the album, perhaps full in the knowledge that we must enjoy each moment we live and live in that moment with gratitude and love. 2002 have delivered to me probably one, if not the best albums I have heard this year, and please believe me when I tell you; I get to listen to hundreds. Technically superb, musically sublime, emotionally empowering and performed with such a level of professionalism and honesty it would be very hard to match. A World Away is a veritable voyage of the soul, and the best work of 2002 in my opinion so far, the balance and checks of universal timing are all here, in what is truly superb release. --Steve Sheppard, One World Music Radio

Stars and Moon, has some of the most lush and richly crafted vocals I ve heard (yet) in 2018... this is another tune that needs to be recognized with an award. I give 2002 a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, with an EQ (energy quotient) rating of 4.99" --Dick Metcalf, Fusion Music Reviews
