This week Strings Of Consciousness is "accelerated"...
Getting close to celebrate their 100th issue the American magazine  
XLR8R is certainly one of the world's leading publication dealing  
with Electronic Cultures.
Thus we are honoured that they selected one of our  songs as their  
favourite for the week, and offer it in their INCITE Online series...  
You can download the free mp3 from there :

Besides XLR8R wrote :

"Strings of Consciousness sounds something like a cross between a  
very competent experimental electronic artists and a well-done movie  
soundtrack. The nine-man musical collective manages to remain in  
synch through the numerous pianos, guitars, basses, bleeps and clicks  
that appear throughout their tracks, and create a rhythm together  
that is haunting, unpredictable, and curiously feel good at the same  
time."




We are enjoying our first internationally distributed release on the  
BiP_HOp Generation series of compilation. Available in your  
favourites stores or online from the label...
