Eight studio albums and multiple world tours later And One are still going strong throughout diversity, criticism, lineup changes, and controversy.)

( ;D --> Tycho is the music project of San Francisco artist and producer Scott Hansen. As Tycho, Hansen blends swirling melodies into vaguely triumphant arcs that crisscross between stuttering beats and vocal samples, creating rolling sonic landscapes that extend into the horizon. Known in the design world as ISO50, Hansen is famed for his bucolic, sun-drenched design style, which serves as a backdrop and mirror for his musical output.)

Ben Benjamin
www.myspace.com/benbenjaminmusic
( ;D --> Ben Benjamin is the solo work of Ben Mullins, or the man behind the influential Midwest Product trio and the elegant PostPrior project. With Ben Benjamin, Mullins captures the varied emotions and textures that have been the signature of his work but it becomes more personal. Releasing songs as a body of “moods” allows Mullins to create a narrative with the listener that extends beyond the songs themselves, they are like notebooks capturing a moment in time.)

( ;D --> In the late 90s Atari Teenage Riot (ATR) emerged out of the electronica genre, to subvert all rules of rock and techno music. The original conception was Alec Empire's and when joined by Hanin Elias, Nic Endo and Carl Crack on stage, the mixed race, mixed sex image of the band provoked people before they even heard the music.)

Ghost & Writer
www.myspace.com/ghostandwriter
( ;D --> Ghost & Writer is a project group devised by JimmyJoe SNARK III, a man of multiple talents, and SEABOUND’s Frank Spinath – a killer combination that comes with a great concept album and good vibes. Prior to the album’s release, JIMMYJOE SNARK III confessed to VIVA MUSIC that “Shipwrecks” comes as a mirrored structure of 8 tracks and their remixes, with a Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde quality to it: “both Frank and I are involved in different bands and projects, so there are some elements we put in here and not there, maybe because that is not the right project for it, and in that sense, there is a Dr. Jeckyll aspect to how we behave”’. The album, to be released on January-28 by DEPENDENT RECORDS, benefits from the creative input of FRONT 242’s Daniel B.’s remastering, and is an enthusing listen, of great picturesque content and compels to multiple auditions.)

( ;D --> Necro Facility is a Swedish electronic body music (EBM) band that has embraced the older sound associated with Pacific Northwest acts like Skinny Puppy and Frontline Assembly. While you will find many reviews comparing anything industrial to these two bands, rarely are these comparisons fair. However, Henrik Backstrom and Oscar Holter not only were clearly influenced by the darker early EBM sounds of these bands, but I'd argue that they've really kept the tradition alive while Skinny Puppy and FLA have moved in different directions.)
