About Me

SubGrav began in 1994 at the height of the techno/rave craze in the united states, when 'croc.shop' keyboardist and composer v.markus decided to create music that stood apart from the hard electro-industrial sounds of his main musical focus. The idea rose from the embers of burning kafka, an earlier project that borrowed as heavily from the heady manc baggy scene of the happy mondays as it did from the dark sounds of frontline assembly. the short lived project saw only one obscure release on cassette, as well as a short film done entirely using a fisher price camera. the name subliminal gravity was borrowed from an idea by croc.shop frontman mick hale, followed quickly by the name of the first album, taken this time from a small piece of paper - a torn, partial article - with the words no high ambient tripping. although the phrase belongs to telephony, the sentiment echoed the project's desire to keep a dance floor moving and distance itself from the emerging ambient/chill scene. the album no high ambient tripping was not released until 2000 through the online site mp3.com, now sadly defunkt. although not heavily marketed, the cd sold a good number of copies, most notably to fans of croc.shop, curious about the side project. individual tracks that found themselves onto the uk's vitaminic site charted in the electronic section for being popular downloads. the latest album is taking shape, and for the time being is called Tokyo. Stay tuned for more...
