"Most things of substance between about '80 and '91 (also certain newer stuff at times) that was of the New Wave sort, I found something within, which I had been able to get something from....also some Ambient music, Trance, and House during various times, even some classical, I may have been able to derive something from."
"Usually, the longer, more abstract tracks, the less commercialised and less-obvious gems on an album, and B-sides from singles, are the ones I like the best, and are the ones I found to be the most innovative, with their more open-minded spirit of sonic experimentation, and these are the ones which I find to be more creatively inclined."

Sounds Like:
It is music that transcends expectations.
It is music for those who are looking for something that is a bit different.
Simplicity and complexity happening at the same time.
A collection of feedback from some of the posts in our comments is preserved in the blogs now, to see some reaction from fans. It grows as more is added, as you provide your input, read them and see what others think.

At our concerts, the quality of the music is the focus over all other elements.
You will see none of the fluff typical of today's disposable "pop star" culture.
No pre-choreographed dance-moves, no lip-syncing. Just great music.
Most of our tracks are long, leaving the listener enough time to vicariously be taken on a journey as he or she enjoys it.
We do not try to be a "popstar" band.

A brief description accompanies each one where the "lyrics" menu is beside each MP3 file in that section.

what synthesizer are you?:
You are a Roland Juno 60-You are an analog synth from the 80's who can pump out bass frequencies like no other-your anolog sound is treasured by the breakin' electro kids of the old school-you are highly respected-you aren't very high tech and dont like computers-you can either be a leader or offer great support when you need to-you are one of the coolest kids out there
