Sounds Like
I could go all smart on you here. But to be honest the "influences" bit might suggest a thing or two, and if it's not enough, there's a play button in the top right corner.
Ray Grant's new album, "Deviations" features 11 new songs in, roughly speaking, electropop style. Influences range from The Human League through Mylene Farmer and Pet Shop Boys to New Order; the production is slick, subjects of the lyrics range from bondage sex to wanting to be a machine and the blonde mohawk reigns over the troubled lands. The album and its first single, "The boy with the stars in his eyes" are now available as a free download at www.raygrant.com.
Hello Ray, thanks for the friendship! And many thanks for the excellent music. I often listen to your CDs and get a lot of pleasure. Have a nice weekend! Olga
hello! Long time no writting to you, here are some news to post at your great blog!
'The Garland Cult´ join the Pet Shop Boys charity proyect 'Philanthropy´ and contribute with a song tribute to them.
Philanthropy is still being promoted without the help of the Pet Shop Boys and for the time being without their blessing. Not a single note has ever been published on their official site.
Thank god other fans sites are helping us.
In the next EP of Philanthropy a tribute song will be published " How cool... Pet Shop Boys " , song donated by the group 'The Garland Cult´ that also did a tribute song to Boy George " Boy George Icon ". In Philanthropy the version of their song will be different and with a new music done exclusively for this album.
A sample of this track can be heard at tennant-lowe.com banner.

Hi there, We are very happy to announce the release of our newest single ALL THAT'S LEFT. This new piece should be ready for download on iTunes very soon & is available as a two-track cd in your record store. B-side = Advertising Space (live recorded at Q-Music, originally by Robbie Williams). All that's left is the first release of a new full album called 'Blue Lanes'. This album will hit the shelves in Belgium on November 5th. Can't wait? Surf to www.stash.be,
yay you are back new songs are amazing i especially like Miracles and where is the mp3 of md8080 you said you would send me? i hope for your sake you haven't sold it to some A&R bounty hunter or something.... 3jane x
yarrrp! OMD are like my biggest songwritery inspiration. but every time i hear Enola Gay i get jealous that i can't write anything as good as that, and probably never will. that song is immortal. and when we saw them live i had to scream my little head off - amazingness...
ahoy there matey what be you up to? i has a korg now.. it's all very exciting and i can make horrible electric noises without being connected to a computer at all!
pffft. record deal. i wish! and i am getting a synth SOOOON! the little red microkorg if i can afford it (£250... oweee)
we're writing new songs with industrial basslines - i programmed a real heavy sound by accident and foud that i liked it too much to change!
Keep on at me about moon door. i may relent eventually [NOT a promise!]
awww... tks! we're still working on it atm. i've had crazy panning ideas where the sweep is going to go right round your head if you have headphones. when i get the time...
how is music treating you?
dude.. what is the point of remixing a song that no one knows the original of? and besides, we're too scared that your version will turn out better than ours! Nothing doing... YET. Maybe when we're all famous.
i love 'deviate 2' sounds like kraftwerk - or like kraftwerk could become if someone took away their stamp collections and gave them DRUGS instead!
