Listen to Apollo 440 for 40 days!

In the true spirit of the 40s 4 40 challenge a Friend of mine suggested I should be listening to Apollo 440 for 40 days! Naturally, I accepted… but who are they anyway?

Apollo 440 are a British electronic music group formed in Liverpool in 1990. The group has five studio albums and created loads of tunes for films and media. They had ten UK top 40 singles with three top-tens and enjoyed a chart presence all over the world.

When I started to listen I realised just how many of their tunes I already knew but didn’t realise it – like the Gran Turismo soundtrack for example!

I picked tunes at random on YouTube based on song title versus my mood and what caught my attention. I missed a few days when I was out at sea beyond any mobile or wifi signal but in doing so coincidentally managed to complete the 40th day on my Birthday – a tune aptly titled ‘For Forty Days’!

After listening to these 40 tunes for at least as many days, I’m amazed at the wide variety of music Apollo 440 are able to write, record and produce.

The full list of 40 songs, in the order I listened to them, is as follows:
