"This previously-skeptical writer's idea that SINE STAR PROJECT are just a bunch of mysteriously-titled jobbing, Prog-gy musos led by a bloke with a daft name. Far from it, 'Building Humans' is a timely, beautifully-executed album about life in the increasingly frightening 21st Century played by a group who pull off the deft trick of equating virtuosity with emotional resonance and make it count in the modern context. Good for them" --Whisperin And Hollerin
Sine Star Project plays eclectic music, unified by beautifully delivered vocal melodies and propelled by dramatic, bombastic arrangements. Featuring stirring strings, ripping synths, shining brass, and an unusual yet marvelous dash of Nashville Americana by way of Mike Davies’s superb pedal steel playing. They follow the credo that more is more; The overall impact is highly charged, emotional music delivered in the grandiose style reminiscent of Queen, Led Zeppelin, Jeff Buckley, Sound Garden, The Beatles, King Crimson, Muse, Wilco, and the Flaming Lips.
ALBUMS:
-Blue Born Earth Boy (2006)
-Building Humans (2008)
REVIEWS:
• Q magazine: A remarkably varied backdrop sprinkles colour into his dark world. A beautifully fashioned debut. JOHN AIZLEWOOD **** Q Recommends.
• Rock Sound: One big show-off of an album from a very talented songwriter backed by a band that can match his ambition.
• Disorder Online: There’s fascinating brainpower at work here. It deserves to be nourished. - MARTHA STUART
• Losingtoday: Sine Star Project are not from this world. Ziggy Stardust left our universe, procreated and left his spawn to fend for themselves on a mixed diet of Muse, Led Zeppelin, Queen and magic dust.

• Unpeeled: SOUNDS LIKE? Roxy Music have been listening too many camp musicals.
IS IT ANY GOOD? Oh yeah, over arching poptastic bombast and slick cuteness, all splattered with bucketloads of black hearted irony. read full review here

• Whisperinandhollerin: just as he's about to swing a very big lump hammer, that stupidly-catchy, post-apocalyptic XTC of a "la la la"-ed up chorus comes in and just about wins him over....read full review here

I dug out your CD's the other day and loaded them on my ipod so I thought I'd come visit again as I haven't been on here hardly in several months but checking out your videos... that voice just gets better and it looks like a new Sine Star Project album will be gracing my ipod soon maybe!
Hey How are you? Hope life’s treating you well. And No matter what I hope you are smiling. If I can help you in anyway let me know. My experience has helped both artists and song-writers achieve radio recognition along with producer and companies. Scheduled interviews, both live and by phone, arranged magazine articles and advertisements, assembled sponsorships, tours, performances, writing sessions, label meetings, and has helped to connect artists with television interviews, films, NFL half-time performances, and more! Send info/ press kit to mailing address listed on my myspace site. Look forward in hearing from you.
Just so you know, my mate Nick Askew has posted his pics from the Dutch Marillion gigs on his website. This also includes pics of you lot in all your technicolor glory. You can find the Sine Star Project picture galleries alongside the Marillion galleries at:
Howdy chaps! I trust your journey back from Nijmegen was quieter than your departure. I still have Ben's silly hat (thankfully not encrusted with his dinner) which he forgot in the bus lounge when... well, y'know.
I'll be having a chat with my guys this week and we'll see what we can do about The Peel on 10 January. Let's sell some CDs and t-shirts and make some music together very soon.
Thank you for your kind reply. I enjoyed your music very much. And it was great to see your enthousiasm on stage. (What you give is often what you get, isn't it?) Hope to see you perform in the Netherlands again sometime in the (near) future.
