BIOnighT 3 albums available |
SynGate Records The web seems to be the perfect means to spread their musical message without restrictions and without having to make their music 'commercial'(in the negative sense of the word). A promo of their first album - Egoheart 1999 - is sent to several websites on electronic music to have it reviewed. Among them there is also a German website called Syngate, which publishes some very flattering comments about the CD.

Guido Negraszus 1 album available |
SynGate Records Clearly a forerunner in Electronic Music ranks, Guido Negraszus and his music are highly recommended if you like Enigma, Mike Oldfield and Jean-Michel Jarre.

Above all, his ingenious shaping of rhythmical elements reflects his adept and informed handling of his instrumentation without negating the up-to-date trends of today. more info... |
