Invasive is the musical collaboration between John Skolfield and Ian James. The duo formed this side project because both men were looking to expand into genres beyond their own current music situations. They began working together in January 2005 initially with no direct plan in place. Then as songs started taking shape, the makings of an album soon became realized. Throughout 2005 and into 2006, Invasive kept at writing and recording until finally a track list was set.
Interestingly, Skolfield & James had never met in person during the entire recording and mixing process. They worked remotely in separate studios trading ideas and songs through the mail, until the recordings were finished. It wasn't until the albums mastering session, did the pair unite in the studio.
The debut album from Invasive is titled "Remnants" and is scheduled for release in September 2006. Its a throw back to how records use to be made- a cohesive cycle of songs that flows from start to finish, the next song picking up where the previous one left off. The albums sound is influenced by groups such as Nine Inch Nails, Daft Punk, LCD Soundsystem, Radio Head, Perfect Circle, and Pink Floyd. This is Music for the reflective soul. Its Invasive.

FOR YOU MY FRIEND ... A POEM FROM THE LUNACY MACHINE
HERE IS ...
I called in sick to work today;
Sometimes that’s not so bad.
My head is stuffy;
My body’s achy;
My hands and legs are kinda shaky.
My eyes are weary and sort of blurry.
My sinuses, too, have started hurting.
My nose is dripping; my stomach bloated.
My cheeks, in fact, are kinda swollen.
With that, I called in sick.
I thought the average flu for sure.
Who wouldn’t with what I’ve got?
But something told me it was more than that
When I turned the TV on.
There were riots in Virginia.
There was looting in New York.
They were declaring martial law in towns I’d never heard before.
They were interviewing doctors who had learned of a disease,
And they mentioned that the plague began in Nashville, Tennessee.
Then they interviewed a patient who was pointing at his eyes. He said,
“There are spiders all around us!
They’ll lay their eggs inside us!
These spiders here are poisonous!”
Then he dropped his hands and died.
--I Have A Gift For You ... A Poem Taken From The Darkest Corner In The Back Of My Mind.
... The Story of ...
"Is there someone there? Is there someone there?
Come talk to us tonight.
We're asking for the dead to speak,
It's only us . . .my wife and me.
Come tell us how you died."
The oracle moved about the board
A figure-eight reply.
The oracle started slowing down, then stopped . . . above the 'Y'.
"Tell us more, tell us more, this spirit sailing free.
Tell us how you died tonight.
Tell us when you died tonight.
Tell us what brings you here tonight.
Keep spelling it for me."
The figure-eight continues and around the board it moves.
It's slowing down, it's slowing down.
"Come spirit, talk to me right now,
Tell us tonight, because we want to know . ."
Then the oracle stopped on the letter 'O'.
"You're coming in so very clear,
Now tell us why you're roaming here, on this dark and stormy night.
Speak to me, speak to me,
Travel through this board to me.
Tell us why you sleep tonight beneath your resting tomb.
Speak to me, speak to me, speak to me now."
Then the oracle stopped on the 'U'.
"Y-O-U, Y-O-U, this isn't making sense.
You spelled out, "YOU" is this what you meant to do?"
Then the oracle stopped on 'YES'.
My hands were sweating. My knees were shaking.
My wife had glanced up, hesitating
While I just sat there concentrating
Recalling what I knew.
This cannot be. This cannot be.
Then the oracle spelled out, 'S-U-E.'
