Art of illusion band series#

Three pieces, 22+ mins, mastered by THOMAS DIMUZIO, 500 copies pressed on beautiful and unique 3-colour (green, blue and white) vinyl and with artwork by Berlin-based designer TILMANN BENNINGHAUS. To us, this sounds like '70s psych-space tunes transformed by today's experimental & compositional consciousness. But IOS wouldn't be IOS if it weren't for surprising breaks, cut-ups, crackling sounds and other interferences.

We are very happy IOS (at this time mastermind DANIEL BURKE only) recorded pieces for our special concept 10' series that again mark a very unexpected change: 'SWEET DREAMS' is an almost 'psychedelic' record, using many incredible acousmatic sounds deriving from field recordings, instrumental sources (such as acoustic guitars) and synths, which build together repetitive pulsing patterns and hypno-loops that suck you in. Since then, IOS never failed to surprise their listeners, going through many musical changes with various live members using elements of improvisation, electro-acoustic music,sound collages, sublime drones (especially in the '90s before it became a well-known notion) and noise (and only imagine that JIM O'ROURKE started his career as the 19-year old live guitarist of ILLUSION OF SAFETY!). The new album вЂњX Marks The SpotвЂњ from Art Of Illusion will be released through AOR Heaven in Europe in January.ILLUSION OF SAFETY started in Chicago almost 30 years ago with their vision of dark and morbid atmospheric industrial music and soon became one of the inventors of what was then called 'Ambient Industrial', the marriage of these two very different styles & approaches. In combination with his songwriting and producing, Anders holds a position as senior lecturer in Music Production at the Linnaeus University, Vaxjo, Sweden. Voice acting for Disney and other production companies, is another of Lars many skills.ДЄnders Rydholm has beside his own bands Grand Illusion and Code, worked with Overland, Seikima II and the legendary Japanese artist Demon Kakka. Four appearances singing background vocals, for several countries, in the Eurovision Song Contest so far. HeвЂ™s also the voice for the bands Lionville and Enbound and one of the most hired background vocal singers in Sweden. He has since then been an appreciated voice within the melodic rock genre. Lars SГ¤fsund broke with his band Work Of Art and the album вЂњArtworkвЂњ in 2008. Lyrics by Anders Rydholm, Arlene Matza-Jackson and Patrik Ahlm. Drummer Frank вЂќFrallanвЂќ Nilsson, background vocalist Per Svensson and steel guitar player Tony Paoletta also appear. Guests on the album are guitarists Jay Graydon, Muris Varajic, Kristian Larsen, Pelle Holmberg and Daniel Rydholm.

The album is produced by Anders and Lars. Anders plays keyboards, bass and rhythm guitars, while Lars sings lead and background vocals and also contributes some keyboards. Catchy melodies, great hooks and tons of glorious vocals are the formula for success. Melody is the key in their music and there is a homage to melodic rock and bands like Queen, Giant and Big Money. вЂњX Marks the SpotвЂќ is the first album from these Swedish musicians.
