Release Date: 2012

Tracks:

1. Great Ocean Road 

2. Child of the Wind  

3. Tick Tock   

4. Going Down Slow

5. The Strange Kind   

6. The Tide     

7. Solitary Bones

8. Midnight Lullaby

9. Where the Light Is Strong

Much of the music sounds like the kind of blues - jazzy - folk you often find in movies, so when I discovered that some of his sounds are in the flick 'Kings Cross Angel', I wasn't at all surprised.  I would totally expect that more of his numbers will be picked up by movie producers in the coming years.

The music is surprising original for the blues - folk genre, and its hard not to believe that eventually Tobias Moldenhauer will have solid to strong name value in Australia and beyond - that will equal if not succeed his outstanding quality of music.
