Band Members: Steve Paul........................................................ .....................Guests................................. ............................................................ .....: on beatiful - simon bor............................ on battle for hearts and minds - darren turze (of emunah)..................there was once a collective of Jewish musicians listed above, from which Emunah then splintered from..............................................Guest on Regina Spektor - Samson (original edit - sweetest downbeat remix - me, trying to do a four tet style remix using ableton live)................................and if i can squeeze my 8 1/2 minute epic - yestoday no tomorrow - to fit on the site, then i can give credit to the man behind the man - sam sallon...................................................... ...............but basically its just me sitting in front of a computer, sometimes outside, sometimes on a train, mainly in my room getting distracted by meaningless msn conversations, and the occasional poker victory.
Influences: all about lily chou-chou......... please if you only watch one more film in your entire life, and you are a music obsessed message board addicted cyber-geek, this is exactly the dystopia myspace evolved from. WATCH all about lily chou chou. what really is an influence? i dont feel like anyone's really influenced me directly. everything you listen to moulds into your mind and you process and regurgitate in a spontaneous creative way, so ideally i'd say radiohead were my greatest influence but they sound nothing like me for the most part. regina spektor definitely influenced the regina spektor remix but you could have figured that out. all i can really say is that 90% of what i listen to sounds nothing like what i have recorded cos i mainly listen to obscure-ish, alternative rock, psych, folk, americana, 60s, indie, and prog, which hasnt yet, but will, have a bearing on where i am going..........
Sounds Like: four tet, mum, lemon jelly, ulrich schnauss, dj shadow, massive attack, air, mike oldfield, jean-michel jarre (so the oldies tell me, don't let that put you off), new radiohead without thom yorke's vocals, infected mushroom, shpongle, the album leaf, the books, tortoise, schneider tm, fridge, fog, fennesz, faultline, dntel, caribou, boards of canada, amon tobin, underworld, leftfield a guy called gerald, khonnor, squarepusher, aphex twin, plaid, brian eno, astral projection, chemical brothers, the orb, orbital, savath and savalas, royksopp, rjd2, nightmares on wax, moby, mice parade, m83, laurent garnier, kruder and dorfmeister .......hidden away in one of the songs is a bit of guitar that sounds like mogwai.
Record Label: a future without (records)
Type of Label: Indie
