Kinetic - Industrial Technology

Kinetik were formed in 1994, evolving from the remains of Elektro-Kinetik, a band who had made a name for themselves through some well received sets at the Blackpool Kraftwerk Conventions in 1993 and 1994 where they played a selection of the Dusseldorfer's best loved tracks and attracted much praise from the attendees and electronic music press.
Colin Jordan was born in London but moved to Pembrokeshire, Wales in 1984 to escape the big city bustle. Electronic Music had already made a big impression on him via the discovery of J.M. Jarre's 'Oxygene' in 1977 and soon discovered other influential artistes such T. Dream and Klaus Schulze. After purchasing a Korg MS10 synthesizer in 1980, Colin quickly built up an arsenal of (mainly analogue) gear and formed his first band 'Axxent Opaque' in the early 1980's.
In 1985 Colin met up with Shirleyann Davies, a Pembrokeshire based woodwind teacher at a local music club in Tenby, West Wales. Shirleyann at the time was a successful woodwind soloist often playing on both radio and Welsh T.V. The two surprisingly found they shared an admiration for Kraftwerk and electronic music (Shirleyann had also purchased a Korg MS10 in the early 80's !). Spurred on by this, the pair began to collaborate on their own brand of music which eventually led through Paul Wilkinson, a mutual friend to an invitation to perform a set of Kraftwerk material at the conventions in Blackpool.
Elektro-Kinetik was thus formed and was joined initially by David England (a much acclaimed artist who still contributes to Kinetik's CD artwork and computer graphics) as a guest on electronic percussion for the 1993 convention. In 1994, Simon Darvell, a music technology student stepped into David's shoes playing percussion and electric guitar ( ! ) for the following year's convention which pioneered the band's technique of synchronising computer generated images to their live music
On May 31st 1997 Kinetik played to an enthusiastic audience at the EMMA Festival held at the Assembly rooms, Derby. It was also at this big event that the band chose to finally release their debut studio album 'Refined' which had been completed in the Spring. Both live performance and new CD were well received and in turn, led to a greater interest in the Kinetik sound both near and far afield. Three live tracks from the 1997 EMMA performance were later included in the 1999 'Re-Generations' 2 CD set.
Industrial Technology is from their cd refined. Very Kraftwerk like.
