>>Profile<<..

<<“Nostalgia for the Future” is how Simon describes the sound of Komputer. It’s a breath of electronic fresh air in a musical world polluted by guitars.>>

<<Simon and David first met at a new music seminar in Prague about two and half years ago. The two of them share an avid interest in electronics and technology, hence the sound of Komputer. Simon has studied sound production at Morley College, which qualifies him as the technical assistant. David is a skilled musician, he has graduated in Harmony, counterpoint and performance, he is the voice of Komputer.>>

<<Jane is a new addition. Originally from Saddlesworth in Yorkshire, she moved to London several years ago to become the drummer of Andromeda Strain who were signed at the time to Trident Records (Home of Captain Sensible!!) Jane met Simon and David through a mutual friend, and became the third member of Komputer back in November 1996. She is currently studying a Masters in Musicology at the University Of London.>>

<<In addition to their music, Komputer are in the process of creating a “virtual City” of the future to accompany the debut album release.>>

<<Three people, three minds that exist in a parallel universe away from the sounds of the contemporary dance scene. Komputer are striving to become The World Of Tomorrow.>>

<<Released on Mute Records 1st June 1998 in the UK (already available on Mute in the US)>>
