We formed as a three person punk/rock group called Niterox in 2005, released a demo by the name of 'We Won't Quit Our Day Jobs' and became a four-piece at the end of 2006, promising an EP in 2007, which we have yet to deliver. We changed our name to In-Flight Entertainment in October and are still without any new recordings. Our sound has changed drastically since becoming a four-piece in 2006, and now we're not sure what we classify as. We have an extensive repertoire of original music that we would really like to share with you. We're not an acoustic act, despite what you hear. We make music because it's what we love.
Music may stimulate us to realize that reality is in the mind, and help us to form some notions about the ephemeral nature of reality. However, we too often get stuck to music. If you want to know whether music makes one more spiritual, you need look no further than the lives of musicians. Their lives teach us that we learn to sing because our hearts have forgotten how.
We find music relaxing because it provides pattern out of chaos — but reality is chaos. The effect of music is to calm by way of tying-up emotional loose ends in the mind, with different types of music working on different loose ends. Music draws unresolved conflicts and anxieties to the surface of the mind where they are pandered to. Go ahead, tie up those loose ends — and end up with a beautifully rounded mass of seething knots!
Music works as a drug to disable the mind. It helps to distract our attention away from everyday problems, giving us a holiday from categories. We sense a sublime, impalpable message in music; and it is impalpable for one good reason — it is not rational! Beware this demon, who masquerades as a God! Music is like a plastic flower; pretty, but not the real thing. The Ultimate is like music, but music is not like the Ultimate. Do not be deceived by temporary clarity: where the ocean is smoothest the most dangerous currents flow.
Should you wish to hear our EP — if and when it is ever recorded — it is suggested you subscribe to our blog , which will allow us to notify you of its completion.
