About Me


Welcome, Bienvenue, Herzlich Wilkom, Benvenuto! Hello.

Thank you for visiting Our Space. Here's a little bit about us:

    We're not trying to change the world (although it could do with a little tweak here and there).We don't seek fame or fortune (although if offered, we might not say no to the latter).We don't think we're the greatest thing since sliced bread. What's wrong with slicing your own bread anyway?

But we enjoy attempting to write and produce our own music and do it entirely for our own entertainment and without supervision. Of course, if anyone else out there happens to like what we do, then we're delighted (if a little surprised).

Constructive criticism is very welcome, destructive criticism even more so (it gives us a laugh if nothing else). So if you think we're rubbish, tell us, but also let us know where you think we could improve, for example, "try the odd melody here and there" or "stop using the synthesizer as an instrument of torture".

On this page, you can find a small number of highlights from our 2003 album Empires, our 2006 album Dusk, and some of the singles we've released over the last five years or so. Currently, we are "busy" working on our next album, which will have a name as soon as we think of one, and will be finished as soon as we stop making changes to it. If you're looking for a way to waste your money, try iTunes or write to us and beg very nicely, and we might send you a copy of one of our "Compact Discs".

Please check out www.hypernova.org.uk for more details, our blog for all our latest news and bloggings (is that even a word?) and do visit again soon - we do try to keep this site reasonably up to date and change the songs around every so often - we would hate you to miss out.


Downloads Available:
    STOP PRESS: Our four track iDusk EP is available for download from iTunes.

The Electraparade compilation album, which includes our track, 'My Light', is available to download from the following sites:DJ Download Ministry of Sound Juno records
