About Me

Sonic Spectrum are an electro based band producing ambient but melodic type music in our spare time. We are currently working on a complete album to be released free over the internet sometime in the late 2008. Some of the tracks are up on myspace now.We are not interested in the touring side of music and prefer to work at our day jobs to earn the money to help us be more creative with the new cheap and VST based music technology available to all. However we may be able to do one off happenings and never say neverWe are also happy for people to enjoy our music free of charge for personal use. However it should not be used for commercial profit nor as a soundtrack without asking our permission. If you are interested in contacting us then by all means email us at [email protected] also urge you to think of the environment and work towards a greener , leaner, meaner Wirral.
Latest --------We did intend to get a full album done by now. But it isn't likely to be ready as a Christmas freebie. We have put a 3 track edit up as a medley to give you all a taster of what's to come. It's an album relating to everything in the eighties with songs about unemployment, the falklands war, Chernobyl and other lesser known things..................hal:dave:frank
