He's probably best known as a founding member of the influential band DNA, though his work after DNA has been quite prolific.

Closed Circuits

Conceived as a banishing ritual, the nine songs of Closed Circuits’ first album arrange themselves into three parts, representing Isis, Apophis and Osiris – roughly growth, destruction and rebirth.
