Sounds Like
Tim Burness. A lot of different things, old and new. On the most recent album released in December 2007, some of the more obvious and mostly older influences include: Steve Hackett, Peter Gabriel, The Police, Rush, King Crimson, Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, Kate Bush, Howard Jones, Marillion, Radiohead, Tears For Fears, Robert Fripp and there is a Steve Hillage and Gong tribute track.
Tim Burness established himself musically with his band Burnessence, playing a part in the new wave of British progressive rock from 1983 to 1986. During that time the Buckinghamshire-based band toured regularly and released two albums through Nuclear Records. Soon after moving to Brighton (England) in 1990, Tim achieved national radio airplay from Tommy Vance and others in England with "Learning To Fly c/w Mumbling In The House Of Commons", a solo single from the "Power In Your Hands" album on his own label. Tim continued to gig and record throughout the nineties, releasing a mini-album "Infinite Ocean" in 1997 and contributing to albums by the successful ambient group Tuu. In 2004 Tim released "Finding New Ways To Love" on his own Expanding Consciousness label. This was the first album to gain significant international land and internet radio play across America, Europe and the rest of the world. Work began on the next album in 2005, another eclectic mix of melodic pop, progressive rock and ambient/experimental instrumentals. The musicians on the new album again include drummer Fudge Smith (ex-Pendragon and ex-Steve Hackett), bassist Keith Hastings (Gypsy Kings tribute band Bamboleo and ex-Alan Darby), psychedelic keyboard maestro Monty OxyMoron (veteran English punks The Damned and Captain Sensible) and also percussionist Julian Franks (countless projects, has worked with Porcupine Tree's Colin Edwin). Following some solo gigs supporting John Young, Strangefish, The Watch and others, "Vision On" was released in December 2007.
£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!
Hugs from Brazil, Claudio David
