On 30 June 2008, "Further Than Tomorrow" a collection of the songs that Jay had been working on prior to his death was released. The CD which was sold exclusively for sale via Amazon.co.uk sold out in one day. Jay's family had originally tried to complete the album several years earlier, but plans were stalled due to lack of funds when it was estimated that it would cost around £50,000 to complete. However, they were later contacted by KPM, which was at the time a division of EMI which provided soundtracks worldwide for film, TV and advertising who wanted to complete Jay's unfinished work. The tracks were completed by producer Vasco and musicians including Jay's brother Eddy, who overdubbed over Jay's original home demos. Vasco commented that "having done my best to arrange the songs in the manner suggested by what had been left behind, I stood poised with the rest of the band, guitar in hand ready to record as the count-in came over the headphones. Fortunately, Matthew had recorded his voice really well, so we were able to build the album around it. What followed was one of the most enjoyable recording sessions I have ever been involved in". The works met similar critical acclaim to Jay's earlier releases, securing airplay on key radio stations, and a high ranking in respected music publications, including "Q", who made "She Didn't Understand" their track of the Day. Jay's mother Hilary admitted that whilst the album "would not be exactly as he would have done it but I think they have done an excellent job and I’m very grateful to all of them". The tracks had previously been released digitally in 2007 by KPM, under the title "Independent Mind" with the additional track "Break-Up At The Seaside", and some of the original song titles intact which Jay's family changed prior to commercial release (for instance "Chaos" was originally titled "Thoughts Of My Own Demise" and "Nothing Seems Good Enough" originally "Casual User").
