Honorary member Vania Zouravliev. although not a musical memeber, the artist responsible for a lot of the artwork of Third Eye Foundation, Drinking Songs &. Failing Songs, He is in my opinion the greatest contemporary artist. His myspace page can be seen in my top friends. I have had great priveledge to work with the above aswell as many other very talented musicians & artists.
Influences
Bill Hicks, Favourite records of my youth included Corpses As Bedmates 'Venus Handcuffs' (Now rereleased on CD by Recommended Records as artist Venus Handcuffs. check the profile in my top friends), Matt Johnson 'Burning Blue Soul', Current 93 (especially Live at Bar Maldoror & Imperium), Tuxedomoon 'Ghost Sonata' Early Factory Records aswell as literally thousands of records & musicians over the years. Gained a musical education working for 10 years in Revolver Records in Bristol, the last of a now sadly dead breed of independant record shops owned by an true music lover & expert, in this case Roger Doughty who knows more about recorded music than anyone I have met before or since (with the possible exception of John Peel but it would be a close run thing).
some of the things on my generic mp3 player at the moment.
More & More Classical music, Filomena Moretti (greatest guitarist in the world) plays Bach (II), Xiu Xiu 'Women as Lovers', Brainticket 'Cottonwood Hill', Quickspace supersport 'The Death of Quickspace' (a criminally underrated album), The Sighs 'Trawl', Directorsound 'Redemptive Strikes', Venus Handcuffs, Funkadelic various albums, Jacques Brel, Jah Stitch, Sly & the Family Stone 'There's a Riot Goin on', Sun Ra 'Strange Celestial Road, some mental ragga, Tim Buckley, various albums, Tom Waits various albums, UNKLE 'The time has come remix EP', A Certain Ratio 'Sextet', Asa Chang & Junray, Babera, Coil, Josephine Foster 'A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing' Wu Tang/GZA/Ol Dirty
Sounds Like
Matt Elliott sounds like twisted slavic/european folk/electronica.
Third Eye Foundation did the whole Jungle/noise/soundtracky thing.
