KiloWatts and Vanek is the collaboration of Jamie Watts from Philadelphia, and Peter Van Ewijk from Belgium.
Working together for a year to create their first album, RawQ, they constructed songs over the internet without ever meeting face to face, while Peter wrote lyrics and guitar licks, and Jamie Watts composed songs out of them, adding his own electronic glitchery and certain KiloWatts flavor.
They were soon signed to HoloPhon Records in Germany, and Diffusion Records out of Austin, TX, and in May of 2004 they finally met face to face and gave their first performance in Augsburg, Germany at the Lab 30 Festival, a 4 day weekend celebrating digital artists and musicians.
Now, four years after their first offering, KiloWatts and Vanek have teamed up again to create a journey through their familiar fusion of epic existential storytelling and cutting edge electronic intricacy with their newest album Focus & Flow. Jamie Watts's technological precision and ethereal melodic intuition, combined with Peter Van Ewijk's dreamlike lyrical exploration of consciousness and confusion create a spectacular synthesis of a visionary dimension.

What Album Is Lie's From i have been trying to get that track forever.. i used to have it on some Max graham album but i could remember what the name of that album was either...
Thx for the add, I love your music for a long time! Especially song "Lies"! Keep it up and good luck in future! Greets from rainy Moscow / Russia /Ivan
Keeping fingers crossed for a CD edition of the new album appearing soonish. I could maybe do with the FLAC-files, but I prefer to have all the best albums as physical copies, double 180g vinyl would be asking for too much ;)
