Right. I’m fed up of being modest. Everyone who’s reviewed us we’re amazing. A number of our fans rate us as their very favourite band, and our gigs the best they have ever seen. We have been tipped as "Big in 2008" in two major publications at the end of last year, and our last reviewer tipped us for a mercury nomination, so I feel I have the right to say, with little fear of contradiction, we are quite good.

Therefore, if you are a promoter, you’re reading this, and you like us too, PLEASE BOOK US, as all of us have little time to annoy you with unsolicited phone calls. We have gone down equally well on rock stages at open air festivals as we have at jazz clubs, and punters aren’t as frightened of us as you might think.

Here are some other facts about us. I’ll be brief...

We were WINNERS of the PETER WHITTINGHAM AWARD for cutting edge jazz in 2006.

We have been working extensively with the visual artists Dandelion and Burdock (www.dandelion-burdock.com), on extended, interactive, especially commissioned works.

The designer of the Porpoise Corpus logo and album artwork was Robert Shuttleworth, who changes his profile name weekly, but can be found as friend number 2 on the list below.

Our reviews can be seen in the blogs section above. Here are some other less relevant quotations:

"If man’s hands had grown as flukes, the moral might run, he would still be a philosopher, but he would not have the devastating power to wreak his thought on the body of the world. Instead, he would have lived and wandered like the porpoise, his home the currents and winds and oceans; intelligent, but forever only an awed and curious observer of unknown wreckage falling through the blue lights of eternity."
- Net Profit, by Michael J Becker and Shelby Sampson

"Epics," said Hagbard. "They’re mad for epics. They have their whole story for the past forty thousand years in epic form. No books, no writing - how could they handle pens with their fins, you know? All memorization. Which is why they favor poetry. And their poems are marvelous, but you must spend years studying their language before you know that. Our computer turns their works into doggerel. It’s the best it can do. When I have the time, I’ll add some circuits that can really translate poetry from one language to another. When the Porpoise Corpus is translated into human languages, it will advance our culture by centuries or more. It will be as if we’d discovered the works of a whole race of Shakespeares that had been writing for forty millennia."
"On the other hand," said Howard, "your civilizations may be demoralized by culture shock."
- The Illuminatus! Trilogy, by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson
