Custom Blue's debut album "All Follow Everyone" was released via DJ Ross Allen's Island records A&R stable Island Blue on April the 15th 2002. The album and debut single "So Low" (released on the 8th April) had been widely acclaimed throughout the music press.

Equaly it could take you to distant shores with the moon rising and space to think of the girl or guy that got away. Certainly, its going to take you on a mesmeric journey like no other album so far this decade.
