Pineapple Thief

The Pineapple Thief, a progressive indie rock band from Somerset, United Kingdom, began as the musical vision of Bruce Soord. Soord started the band as an outlet for his music back in 1999. Bruce released the debut Abducting The Unicorn on Cyclops records - this created enough interest to convince Bruce that perhaps The Pineapple Thief was here to stay, quickly establishing a small but fanatical fan base. Bolstered by critical plaudits and support from fans, Bruce returned to the Dining Room studios to work on the second, and to many, the breakthrough Pineapple Thief album 137.

Akira Kayosa

The affair started in the early 90's when the likes of the Prodigy & The Chemical Brothers were dominating the scene. Like most of his age, these were the people he listened to. It wasn't long before Akira Kayosa's attentions turned towards the new sound that was developing, this was the music known as Trance. It seemed every cd that was released wether it be Gatecrasher or the Clubbers guide albums, it was in the bag.
