This is the music section, where you can have a listen to some of our stuff.

We are a 4 piece band of sorts. Although our range of styles varies across a broad spectrum of musical influenzas, we can probably be best summed up as 'electronicalizationatasticalamityjane'. We are based in Belfast in Northern Ireland, operating out of an asylum-white back bedroom in student accomodation. You can check out the QuicktimeVR of our studio when I get it developed and stuck in the 'members' section. All of us have been writing music individually for a number of years, but about two years ago, Colin Hamilton and Jonny Blair joined up to begin working on an album of sorts.

After about 4 months of collating sufficient material, Simon Cochrane joined, his musical talents enhancing our first demo/album - 'version'. Since 'version', we have moved on, both in the musicalities and productionializtionisms of our work.

Around Christmas 1997 Deano arrived, armed only with a guitar, a ten pence piece and a vague idea of what 'Silent Night' sounds like. With his seasonal classic, 'Crimbo', Dean was brought into the metaphorical sweaty belly crevice that is 'flaw'. With the critical last piece slotting into place, the conundrum had been solved - the flaw jigsaw puzzle, if you will, was complete. On this page you will find a few downloadable sample tracks of our most recent release: 'this is not a toy'. Have a listen and let us know what you think.

If you like what you hear, you can buy it in Dr. Robert's Record Store, Church Lane, Belfast. It costs £6.99 and contains 10 tracks. There are also some other tracks from 'version', our first demo. It is also available in Dr. Robert's, Belfast.

If any record labels representatives are looking at this page and you think there's potential, give us a shout.
