This was the first CD with every track featuring a composition of Deane’s and work began after Deane’s composition, All That I Love, caught the attention of executive producer, Gene Evans. This was also the first CD to obtain the endorsement of The Hans Selye Foundation and The Canadian Institute of Stress, because of its beneficial qualities. With its varied arrangements by David Nelson, this CD was first played extensively by Calgary’s AM 1060/CKMX, which also became an endorser of the music. The CD’s title, Castaway, from the name of an outdoor expedition company, lends itself to the notion of forgetting your problems.

This CD reached no. 2 in HMV Toronto Superstore’s Independent Top 15 chart.
