"Brian Eno’s minimalist avant-garde pieces would go on like some zen mantra. Nothingness. Yet sometimes there can be tranquil beauty in nothingness. That’s the sense I get with Valley Of The Shadow Of Death. A spacious landscape that marries ‘Selected Ambient Works’ by Aphex Twin with John Cage. A droning soundtrack where the earth meets the stars in a haze of spiritual contemplative pieces." - Lonely Vagabond

Thanks for adding us! Two tracks from our brand new EP ***BIG DUMB ROCK SONGS*** have just been posted on our page. Plus, please check our videos for silly things like ripping off the bass player's tutu...
That was a great set at Sneaky Dee's. A spacious landscape that marries 'Selected Ambient Works' by Aphex Twin with John Cage. A droning soundtrack where the earth meets the stars in a haze of spiritual contemplative pieces. Keep to your musical vision.
We invite to visit last.fm/xtabaysuffernofiction, here it found all about us and our first songs. Also visit our space and send us comments. Thanks for the support. We wish good luck.
6th. of May the dkfrf will be in Montreal and in Hamburg. No internet connections, the plain geo/psychological/emotional notion that two episodes will take place at the same day on different continents is enough.
