The only thing you can ask from pop music is that it reflects its time.
To be here now, not tomorrow or virtually or in any other way rearranged, altered or tampered with.
What you hear is what you get.

We are not a lo-fi band, there is no dogma not to use computers. We just couldn't stand the idea of spending another recording session staring at a computer screen.
Computers have revolutionised the way we make music and made recording music affordable.
Today the process of making music is as inventive and flexible as the human brain.
There are no boundaries which in a way is limiting. It's fantastic how inventive the human mind is if it is put under restrictions.....

It's a lot easier to embrace the new you if you understand the past.
But what does one make of the constant echo of yesterday's pop music in today's music?
What does progressive mean, is there any new pop music or is it just recycling old bits and pieces? Anything or anyone claiming to be new has to be fresh yet familiar. Revolutionary yet conservative - we seem to like the same old familiar things, but put together in a brand new manner.

The ongoing dialogue through space and time, between now and then. To set the new against the old. I find that books are talking not only to you as a reader but to each other, commenting, referring, accumulating facts, knowledge and encouraging criticism.
The recycling of ideas, music etc. Is so fundamental to mankind, small wonder that samplers are such essential tools in pop music.
Ever since man started to make things we've been copying, even the human learning process is all about copying. Some people lead the way, others follow.

Beauty is, I believe universal and a great healer. To live in a beautiful place surrounded by beauty makes life a pleasant misery and is essential in leading a full life.
Beneath & Beyond was made with in mind.
I guess our music could be categorised as feel good music and that's fine by me. Feeling good is great! How ever , someone a lot wiser than me once said " If the purpose of art was to distract us and make us forget our worries for a while, a blow with a hammer to the head would be the best art"

Beneath the surface, deep down under the exterior, look Beyond and there is a whole universe, a microcosm. A little world with all our thoughts and feelings, a world according to Standfast.
