Short background of FWO
Futureworld Orchestra is a Dutch synthesizer based studio project founded in 1980 by Robert Pot and Gerto Heupink. After signing with Dutch record company Dureco in 1981, FWO released 4 vinyl singles in the Netherlands:
– DESIRE
– I’M NOT AFRAID OF THE FUTURE
– THEME FROM E.T.
– ROULETTE
and 2 albums:
– MISSION COMPLETED produced by “The Limit” (1982) and
– TURNING POINT produced by Bert Ruiter, (former bassplayer of Focus) 1984.
-MIRACLES was released as a single in the UK.
FWO became quite succesfull in most parts of Europe. In 1986 Robert and Gerto split up but Robert continued producing music and kept the brand name, changing it slighly from “Future World Orchestra” to “Futureworld Orchestra”.
The following “download only” albums were then produced:
– HIDDEN FILES
– ORGANIZED
– PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION (Modest Mussorgsky)
– OCEANS OF INFINITY
– REGENERATED (re-recordings of FWO’s 80s songs)
Some of these albums are scheduled to be re-issued on Vinyl, CD and Compact Cassette.
For late autumn a brand new album is scheduled for release!
Its working title: “To The World Of The Future”.
More albums are already in an advanced stage and scheduled for release early 2023.
