Another Green World are the ultimate chill out, featuring ethereal keyboard wizard Paul Chousmer and psychonaut saxophonist Dan 'Spannerman' Carpenter. Between them producing an eclectic blend of electronica, woodwind and percussion, with melodies strongly influenced by the likes of Erik Satie, Holger Czukay, the Klezmer tradition and Lee 'Scratch' Perry. They came together for their first performance, an extended 4 hour improvisation, in Chislehurst caves, in 1984 (on a psychedelic mystery trip organised by Christian Paris of London underground club Alice in Wonderland).

In the years since their formation they have witnessed the birth of Club Dog, played live parachute sets at Whirl-Y-Gig, appeared at Megadog, The Big Chill and Return To The Source, became stalwarts of the festival scene, appearing regularly at WOMAD, Phoenix and Guildford festivals, also the early Glastonbury festivals, and a host of free festies and benefit gigs - anyone remember the Blue House in Hackney? - recent performances include ..SOLFEST in Cumbria and 'Faery Fest' in Cornwall.

AGW contributed to a wealth of compilation albums in the UK and USA, including several Planet Dog, Return To The Source and Whirl-Y-Gig releases. In 1996, Another Green World joined Magick Eye Records and released the CD 'Invisible Landscape',

Paul and Dan have worked with a host of artists over the years ~ recorded with Ricky Gervaise ~ toured endlessly with Webcore, not to mention 'Ring of Roses', 'Earth Nicht' and 'Spannerman'.

Paul Chousmer y Dan Carpenter empezaron a mover su música en clubs y festivales dentro de unas carpas que, más tarde, se popularizarían como chill outs. Al contrario que hoy en día, por entonces no existía la costumbre de pinchar en dichos sitios, sino que la idea era dar cabida a músicos cuyas tendencias rara vez podían encuadrarse en los grandes escenarios.

Con el tiempo, ambos músicos formaron Another Green World y tuvieron cierta repercusión en el circuito de clubs. "Invisible landscape", su álbum del 96 aparecido ahora en España, les refleja en tendencias tranquilas, con sonidos electrónicos y con el uso de instrumentos de viento.

Another Green World met en scène deux personnages : Dan Carpenter (Saxophone et Flûtiste) et Paul Chousmer (Multi-instrumentiste). Nos musiciens se côtoyaient déjà au sein de la formation "Webcore". Paul Chousmer est aussi membre de "Zuvuya". Une première cassette, My Dreams In Your Hands, sortie en 1985 se perd dans les méandres de la distribution. Mais nous pouvons nous faire une idée de son contenu à l'écoute des deux cassettes suivantes : Boondocks (1988) et Adjusting The Mirror (1993). La musique de "Boondocks" charrie des notes éparses au fil d'un souffle vague. Plaisant de prime abord, l'atmosphère qui s'en dégage reste difficile à digérer. "Adjusting The Mirror" est musicalement plus mûr. Une première partie rejoint l'univers musical de Jean-Michel Jarre, sur laquelle sont greffés des cris d'animaux ou certains chants d'oiseaux. Une seconde partie, qui commence d'une façon plus rythmée, perd graduellement de son intensité. Réalisé après 12 ans de collaboration, un premier CD voit le jour en 1996. Intitulé "Invisible Landscape", il donne - à force d'expérimentation - l'orientation véritable prise par le groupe : toute l'atmosphère de "Adjusting The Mirror" ... plus élaborée techniquement.
