Hi, Steven Davies-Morris of Systems Theory here. If you are reading this and have a radio show (internet, FM or satellite radio) that might be interested in spinning some cinematic spaceprog -- and have not yet received a copy of Systems Theory's Dec 2004 release "Soundtracks For Imaginary Movies" -- please get in touch with me. Provide me with info about your show, where it can be found, when it airs, etc... and the vitally important snailmail... and I'll send you a courtesy copy of the album. I can be emailed at sdavmor@... To help you determine if we might be of interest to your show, here's a brand new review of the album that was just published at the on-line review site Hypnagogue in its April issue: Systems Theory, Soundtracks for Imaginary Movies ------------------------------------------------ Perhaps it's just because I'm a long-time Mike Oldfield fan, but I can't help but hear bursts of his influence across the course of Systems Theory's very listenable Soundtracks... The strong opening cut, "Green Miata Baja Bound" boasts a guitar riff so Oldfield-ish that I initially wondered if it was sampled. "Four Piece Suit," which winds its way through the noted number of musical personality phases, feels a bit like "Northstar"--and finishes up, in the section called "Solar Flared Trousers," by grabbing the listener's attention and forcibly holding it there. In other places Systems Theory show a style and sound strictly their own, and it's a damn fine style and sound. Soundtracks... moves with no discernible effort from jazzy riffs to easy ambience to flat-out potent rock moments. "Water Through Fingers" and "Zero Sum Equation," with its sudden midstream shift, are also highlights here, and the moody "Last Letters from Stalingrad," with flashes of Tangerine Dream brilliance, is a perfect closer. A delight to listen to, and definitely worth repeat plays. <http://hypnagogue.netfirms.com/reviews.htm> -- Cheers, SDM -- a 21st century schizoid man Systems Theory internet music project links: soundclick <www.soundclick.com/systemstheory> garageband <http://www.garageband.com/artist/systemstheory> "Soundtracks For Imaginary Movies" CD released Dec 2004 "Codetalkers" CD coming late fall 2005 NP: nothing
