UNDERCONSTRUCTION

About Me

Inspired back in the 80's by bands such as; Killing Joke, 1000 Mexicans, Three Johns, Snakefinger, The Sound, Atrittion, Mekons, Venus in Furs, Chris & Cosey, Gang Of Four, Modern Eon, Modern English, Portion Control, Nocturnal Emissions, Death In June, Front 242, Neon Judgement, Klinik, Stiff Kittens, Poesie Noire, Dive, Skinny Puppy, Coil, Siglo xx, Nitzerebb...to name but a few! Ok, so there reached a point where we had to some how; get involved & contribute in some way, by creating music that would reflect all of the above genre inspirations, but with a personalised approach...we started off with a band called 'Underconstruction', band members consisted of; Graham Parkinson: guitar & head (only) engineer. Adam Marchbank on drums, Mark Kinghan; vocals, and us on Bass. Style was alternative/postpunk, ...we did a few live gigs and, had one song: "War Toys" released on a New Zealand goth compilation titled: '20 solid goth hits', produced/compiled by max ego of Hieronymous Bosch fame. The next project was Nazi Disco (formed 1993), now called Naz-Co...due to name controversy (you get that with art (lol)). Band Members; Mark Wallbank (AKA; Max Ego): Vocals, Keys, Drum Programming, effects, Rhys Braddock: Guitar. Me: Bass. The style here was more electro, and the inspirations amongst the band were artists like: 'Front 242', 'Skinny Puppy', 'Revolting Cocks', 'Borghesia', 'Klinik', etc, etc. At approximately the same period of time, infact earlier; 91', i started working on a solo project: "Reflex Condition", but we only did like bedroom/basement type recordings, using budget equipment and all recorded down on a classic X15 Fostex four track recorder...however it was great to have the freedom of experimentation, in the way that you could manipulate & dabble with different instrumentation tools, trying out some interesting effects...some of this involved tape sampling, extensive use of delay treatment...applied sometimes on all instruments, including the doncamatic + Korg drum machines & sometimes even to an acoustic drum kit, blah, blah, blah. Now days we're still working on new Reflex condition music, using mainly pc software & samples, etc ... it's a bit of a larf & good fun at the same time, so hope you all can enjoy the 4 songs above from the various project material. ... BTW: check out the new Reflex Condition track: 'Walk Abuv Da Rain'' , this work is a direct tribute to Lou Reed & The Comsat Angels, this work is like my way of paying hommage to 2 alltime favourite artists: ...enjoy.MySpace Layouts - Black Spike myspace layouts
