    Wagwan,

    Stopping in to say hello to you on this fine day. I wanted to personally thank you for being part of our page. I know that to you, we may just be another band, but to us you are a friend before a fan. Our success in the last year has been all because of people like you. We grow as our support grows. You are not just a statistic to us. You are the reason we work so hard day in and day out. We make music to please your soul and ears.

    On a side note. We know that Myspace is not always the best at keeping the communication up between us. So we have decided to see if you would like to be our friend on Facebook as well as here. We frequent that site more often than not. Below are the links to both our "Fan" page and our "Friend" page. On the friend page you can talk directly via the chat feature to what ever band member happens to be on.

    We look forward to seeing you on there!!!! ONE LOVE

    Jesse-James

    FATES - MURKY CIRCUITS
    OUT NOW!

    Fates release a series of recording sessions made at Harvestworks, the foundation co-founded by Bob Moog.

    PRESS REACTIONS

    "Nebulous post-industrial soundscapes constantly tweaked and realigned to create one of the most original electronic records of the year to date. 4.5/5" - THE MILK FACTORY

    "Literally one in a million; tweaking and meshing uncommon sounds to create one of the most original electronic pieces I have heard all year. Abstract art for the ears most certainly." - AW MUSIC

    "A post-glitch triumph that goes by quickly but not without making one’s head spin." - CYCLIC DEFROST

    "Murky Circuits sounds like a highly caffeinated robot took over a decrepit Radio Shack and had its way with anything it could grab." - CHUBBY JONES

    "Dizzying and compelling." - BRAINWASHED
