An amalgam of anything that passes thru one ear and out the other -- see our Interview page for details.

In our music, you'll hopefully find everything -- rock, orchestral, trip-hop, spacey/ambient, whatever -- most times all in one tune!! Mwah-ha-ha....  We follow no labels, guidelines, trends -- we write what we feel at any given moment; industrial one moment, folk the next.  You might hear smatterings of Floyd/Waters/Gilmour, a touch of Mike Nesmith, some Metheny, maybe even some Vangelis
