"Superheroes Of Sea" from the Intercontinental Music Lab

The Intercontinental Music Lab (IML) is a world-wide music project whose aim is to promote musical collaboration. The core contributors, originally from Cambridge, England are now writing and recording music all over the planet – and new international collaborators are being enlisted every week. IML Collaborators submit backing-tracks to IML H.Q. where they are randomly redistributed to other collaborators who write lyrics and record vocals. The subject of IML’s first album was “Superheroes of Science”, second “Superheroes of Sea” and the third was “Superheroes of Space”.

“Superheroes of Sea” is a melodic, sometimes dark sometimes upbeat alternative pop album and the second one in the Superheroes trilogy. Recorded by musicians from America, Australia, Japan and the United Kingdom, the album celebrates the denizens and heroes of the sea, both above and below.
