Christophe B & James Reid have a common purpose with their songwriting. 'Sustain the emotion' in whatever they are writing. Some music makers find it hard to find that kind of continuity, these guys don't... Christophe, with his gallic French roots gives the band's sound a cool exterior that wraps you up in a sound wave of truly original proportions. James Reid brings all his experience and anthemic exposure to the table with exquisite production skills and the know-how to relate to dance floors and headsets alike.

When you hear a raw seventies style synthesizer make sounds that defy the human ears ability to keep up with its morphing, you essentially have the building blocks for the Elecphonic sound of FORBIDDEN PLANET.
Hey Cristophe,hows it going man? I wanted to let you know that I've managed to get a couple tracks recorded and finalized for radio out here in Kenya and to say thanks for the knowledge, it could not have happened without the support of all you guys from MIDI school thanks again and keep doing what you're doing.Also if you're interested in checking out one of the tracks,I put it up on myspace. It's called bin running I hope you enjoy it. Live long and prosper, Respect.Oliver
Hey Christophe! How are you? I am trying to add you to our top friends but I am stupid and I don't know how! I will get Barney or Neil to hepl! Laila x
It is Owen from MMS last year. Just wanted to drop by and say cheers for all the knowledge you bestowed upon me during my MMS days, it has come in very handy recently. I have been starting to make some (not much, but its a start) money from mixing and mastering projects for people and I am slowly getting more and more requests to do work, so thats good.
I am setting up a website soon to allow me to sell my services, I am hoping it will be up-and-running within a month or two.
Unfortunately getting work in a studio didn't formulate so I'm doing web development for a firm in Birmingham during the day and moonlighting as an engineer at night!
Thought I would say hi and thanks for everything last year. I hope all is well with you and MMS.
Hey Christophe, I came along with my friend to the Manchester Midi School taster day. Have to say i was really impressed, the kit you guys had was amazing and your knowledge blew me away.
Just listening to some of your sounds and they are pretty nice, keep up the good work!
