Frankie Bones Dedicates New Album to 911 Victims

Frankie Bones' new album "The Thin Line Between Fantasy & Reality" has been inspired by the terror attacks on New York, he explains on the sleeve notes of the new album.

"To be a native New Yorker and have a business located just over half a mile away north of where the Twin Towers once stood is a daily reminder of how precious life can be," he writes. "I love New York and I will never stray from the City That Never Sleeps, to be frank, it's up to you, New York, York."

The album is a seamlessly mixed collection of 19 house and techno based new tracks from one of the city's best-known techno producers (he owns Manhattan vinyl emporium Groove Records on Carmine Street, Little Italy). The title refers to the true-life tale of Melissa Montefore, who survived the towers' collapse, despite being on a subway train running underneath.

"To the many friends and families who have lost loved ones:

My deepest sympathy goes out to you all in this difficult time. I too, lost my Father when he was on the job in New York City. Though he departed in 1985 I can feel your pain and I am truly sorry," says Frankie. "Let the Lord have mercy on their souls."

The Thin Line Between Fantasy And Reality is out on June 3, on Pro-jex Records
