This is Tomorrow's Achievements, an exclusive Public Information foray into the Canadian Library institution, Parry Music. With access granted by founder John Parry, Public Information have selected twenty-five of their favorite electronic tracks, an early autumn heat-wave of perfect melody. Parry Music was founded in 1974 in Toronto by John Parry and Chris Stone. John was formerly a manager of revered UK library Chappell Music and Chris was a Canadian music consultant; both brought some familiar musicians to the table. Johnny Hawksworth, Robin Artus, Paul Kass, Nino Nardini (close allies with Roger Roger) are on board Tomorrow's Achievements, as well as a little known Canadian Library musician who features heavily, Harry Forbes. Forbes is the real driving force of P.I.'s Parry-love; a master of imminent, hummable melody and sublime synth miniatures baked in sweetness. Elsewhere, the other players work in proto-Balearic house, groovy electronic disco, spooked choral drone, freaked-modular scorch, and weird Radiophonic bleep. These are the soundtracks to movie car chases never known, lost kid's TV shows never realized, radio-ads never broadcast, music to make your ears sing for more. A compilation put together piece by piece at Public Information HQ, lovingly re-mastered by Rashad at D&M, with artwork by Jack Featherstone
