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.
