Ancient-Future.com Records

Ancient-Future.Com Records documents the activities of the many master musicians who are part of the broad music scene surrounding the world’s first and longest running band dedicated to the creation of world fusion music, Ancient Future. On Ancient Future’s “Planet Passion” CD alone there are nineteen world music masters performing, and there are fourteen fully rehearsed live performance versions of the band. All of the musicians working with Ancient Future also have solo careers and perform with other bands, so there are always a number of projects in production.

Ancient-Future.Com Records is built on the principle that artists should be in control of their artistic destinies and should own their own work. Ancient-Future.Com is structured to give the artists greater advertising buying power and distribution than they would have on their own, and to give the artists the proceeds from their work. Because the recordings are artist owned, each record on Ancient-Future.Com is as the artist wishes it to be.
