Color
Theory (USA) - Behind the Rhine (Intuition's
Alternative Radio Edit)
Color Theory is the musical alter ego of Huntington Beach
singer-keyboardist-songwriter Brian Hazard. Hazard creates
piano-driven electronic pop with a romantic soul, combining
the emotional intensity of Tori Amos with a spacious backdrop
of luscious synths and dance floor beats to create a distinctly
modern brand of pop sophistication. The new sixth CD, Color
Theory presents Depeche Mode, is a one-man tribute to Depeche
Mode. The album reinvents eleven of their most underappreciated
songs, and also includes the track "Ponytail Girl",
the Color Theory original that was mistakenly thought as a
Depeche Mode track. |

deZeption
(Denmark) - Teach Me
In May 2003 the danish futurepop act deZeption saw the first
light of day. The intention was to create a positive and inspiring
sound with deep, meaningful and often very ambiguous lyrics.
So is deZeption what it appears to be? Or is there something
more to it? Is deZeption deception? Or can more be heard between
the lines? Obviously this is up to the listener to decide,
but it certainly is the band’s clear intention to move
the audience. The lyrics and the energy put into the music
and the sound can be very deceptive. With lyrics based on
a dualistic and melancholic view of life one might wonder:
Maybe there is something more to it? Maybe you can change
something with positive vibes? Or maybe it’s all one
great deZeption… |

Beatty's resoundingly dark interest in bringing about a marriage

music. The product of this musical bastardization has been
two full albums, inclusion on several compilations, collaborations
with other artists, and a dizzying array of remixes for other
bands. IA was started over 10 years ago and has gone through
many different styles of music during that time from dark,
hangly pop to industrial debauchery to soothing ambient electronica.
