FATAL

THE SUBLIME AND THE RIDICULOUS: What can be said about FATAL.? They certainly dont drink from the Mainstream, that I do know. fusing lush Electronica with Organic Instrumentation Soundscapes, that has mighty fine groove, addictive melody and poise. It absolutely delivers and captivates. Jan Burton has the voice of a non-conformist Angel of the deep, tainted with a burning heart that's both Sublime and Majestic. "Youve got to learn to live and love and die at the same time. You expect respect, but neglect the feelings on the inside". You get me? Andy Gray is the technical Wonder kid, responsible for the Musical backdrop and Doctored wizardry. Andys history and experience are too long and impressive to even mention right here, but in short, Andy is a writer/producer and remixer and has worked with Tori Amos, Liz Fraser, Gary Numan, Korn and U2. He wrote The Big Brother theme tune (channel 4), he also scores for movies including Swordfish, (John Travolta) Timecop II. They first came together when Jan was in a band called SYNTAX and released a Debut called MECCANO MIND. Andy Post Produced and Arranged a number of those tracks to the highest order, resulting in Meccano Minds Highlights. An excellent album in Diversity and Emotive Beauty (a Lost Classic) that lacked support from the label it was signed to. PRAY landed in the top 40 at number 27, championed by Pete Tong, Rampling, Digweed, Joe Wiley and Mary Anne Hobbs giving it Record of the week. PRIDE also featured in very relevant episodes and scenes in the O.C and Nip Tuck. Jan and Andy have come together and written from scratch some very innovative and mesmerising tunes that are difficult to pigeonhole or ignore. Personally, Jans vocal, specifically, has sounded like Tracey Chapman, Tindersticks, Mark Hollis of Talk Talk and even Chris Rea to mention a few! No, it doesnt make sense. Ive heard/read Jim Morrison, David Gilmore and Bono as similarities, so who knows? His voice is unusual and a one off. FATALs more contemporary comparisons, we could say Chemical Brothers, Zero 7,Underworld, Air, Antony and the Johnsons and oh, I dont know, you figure it out! . Jan has also sung with Moby but meat got in the way! Seriously speaking now, you need them in your life. FATAL is coming your way!
