'Beyond The Clouds' was two years in the making. The compositions were quite remarkable in so far that John had never composed a note of music before. But the music flowed and he felt a sense of well being after the completion of each track. John eventually released the album and it immediately made an impact worldwide. Significantly, British Airways commissioned the entire recording and played it on all long haul flights worldwide for over two years. 'Beyond The Clouds' has been described as being 'one of the finest albums of its kind' and features soft piano that talks to you, drifting strings and haunting shakuhatsi flute.
