Original influences stem from original 6o's/70's rock bands, particulaly the psychedelic era, up through punk until the acid house explosion of mid 80's.. But specific influences are Led Zeppelin - especially Jimmy Page - , Syd's Pink Floyd, also his solo recordings big time, acid drenched Beatles & Byrds, Pistols & the Clash, Shock Headed Peters..then KLF, The Orb, Prodigy & Altern 8, Nirvana, Hardfloor...the list is endless.. These days my biggest musical influence - conveniently!! - is Eskimo, hahaha!!

Hello! After many invitations to our gigs it's a big pleasure to invite you to the first night promoted by NATEMA: 'LOOP HOLE' and it'll be great to see all of our friends there! Apart from Natema's live act (myspace.com/natemalive) there will be two great DJs: Dj Wesley Razzy (myspace.com/wesleyrazzy) and Dj Roddy.
Almost Tomorrow is the third full length collaboration album from Section 27 Netlabel founders Tam Ferrans and Andrew Paterson, under their Nonima & theAudiologist guise. This time around the sound is more melodic, and has a definite feeling of a complete and more mature sound than heard on the previous LP's "Dystopian Battle Hymns" and "Ceremony After Amputation". If you are familiar with their individual projects you may even be in for a slight surprise, as the tracks are not as beat driven like before, but are more atmospheric and sound, well... "bigger". In its 75 minutes, Almost Tomorrow takes you on a trip from the digital rain-soaked cavernous scraping in "Thoughtograph", the ethereal beat jittering of "The Colour of Rain", intercepted transmissions from unknown places in "Com-Intercept", "Ganzfeld"s huge yet strangely insect-like beats until everything you knew comes crashing around you in "Almost Tomorrow". Burning pianos, glitched out soundscapes and intricately programmed beatplay, this may well be their best work to date. Consider it the soundtrack to a rainy overcast day, but with just that glimmer of sunshine peeking from the clouds. "Almost Tomorrow" wears its heart on its sleeve.
