In the midst of the punk and new wave movement in London at the end of the 1970s, American keyboardist, songwriter and arranger Craig Pruess burst onto the scene with his ambitious project Visitor 2035, a unique blend of jazz, prog rock and electronic music.

Chris Welch of UK's Melody Maker raved about the band's eponymous debut, and Ariola released the album worldwide. Craig Pruess went on tour with fellow musicians Ray Deefholts, Nigel Robinson and bassist Peter Stroud (later also with the Moody Marsden Band and Peter Green's Splinter Group, among others). But times were tough for musicians with musically ambitious projects; the world wanted punk. So, Visitor 2035 stuck with the one long player on black record's grooves. Now Craig Pruess and Peter Stroud have technically reworked the old tapes and produced a crispy master. In summer, the album will finally be available in stores again after 45 years and for the first time also digitally for streaming and downloading. It's recommended to fans of music which is stepping out of the fusion realm, as well as to all fans of good music. By the way: After his time with Visitor 2035 Craig Pruess produced artists like Cliff Richard and Sarah Brightman and arranged and composed for Massive Attack or Def Leppard and was responsible for the soundtrack to blockbusters like "Bend It Like Beckham".
