Greetings Electric Kompany, Just Checking In With Love And Respect !!!!!!! I Give Continual Thanks And Praises For Friendship And Connection !!!!!!! Blessed Love Always
Hello Friends, thx for finding us and for friendship. Great stuff You've got here - it's a musical art :-) Best wishes and kind greetings from Poland. Stay in touch - Leafless Tree
Respectola to your myspace. Thanks for the add and interest. Love what you have going on here. Very cool and well put together. Sounds cool. Looks cool. Stop making me look bad! Stop it. Stop it now. As we are good at being very cringeingly grovelly, we suggest you try out our fusion mixes and videos including one featuring the Beastie Boys and the Pixies and another with the vox of US Number One Leona Lewis. One we have given you a sneak preview of (below) is a radical combo of Rihanna with an infusion of Peter, Bjorn and John. Rebooted, filtered, animated, shaken, cut, pasted, shown to Michael Jackson who said eee heeel, smashed with a great hammer, deconstructed and turned into Young Folks with Umbrella. Well it would be if you had not stopped html. Bad bad bad. Another newey mixes Coldplay and Kraftwerk and if that's not enough there's a new tune called Scooby Mama which moulds Fun Lovin Criminals to a Scissor Sisters. Watch out for our SeXDwArF v The Cure v Tori Amos tune which is almost ready to be unleashed.
We would also recommend the Lauryn Hill v Marvin Gaye fusion. If it don't move ya yo dead. The myspace is getting new tunes and vids regularly. So let us know what you think. One thing's for sure it will mess with your grey matter. Signing off till next time. Love and Peace. Sex Dwarf. And remember...don't do genre. It's stereotype by another name.
Hey EK, Just letting my friends know I've posted new tracks from my upcoming release "Use As Needed." Thanks for your continued support and I look forward to hearing your thoughts...
Thanx for befriending us. Please check us out our songs and let us know what you think. Please tell all your friends about our music. We need all the support that we can get. God bless, be brutal in your faith !!! We have a brand new song up NOW!!! Check out "FORGOTTEN MAN"

Just wanted to say that it was a blast having you here, hope you all returned safely and whole and that you have, like me, the chance to sleep 14 hours in a row tonight (finally!). I had ZRM going round in my mind all day today, while recording completely different stuff.
