>> >GLOSSARY:-
> >- AMOEBAZOID : Guitarist Keith O'Brien's moody brew of hard-disk driven electronica, free improvisation and squalling rock.
> >- BAD LUNATIC : The new Simon O'Connor (Jimmy Cake) electronic project, utilising multiple CD players to create a soundscape of terrifying beauty.
> >- CHALETS, THE : Consisting of 2 Boys, 2 Girls and a Drummer, they have been causing a bit of a stir of late with their unique angle on pop.
> >- CHEQUERBOARD : Ambient electronica juxtaposing soundscapes which are by turns icily clinical and lushly romantic.
> >- DAEMIEN FROST : "Short on choruses, big on cacophony, short on structures,big on improvisation, the closest it comes to pop is being about twelve places behind Destiny's Child in the CD racks." [- Event Guide]
> >- FEAR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE : New project from acclaimed new Irish >electronica label The Fear, featuring Deasy, Droid'n'Slug and Troubled Soul.
> >- KELLY, FERGUS : Solo percussion performance which creates "a concrete symphony which never leaves the audience less than unsettled." [- The Irish Times]
> >- FORMIKA : Ambient electronica which creates "breathtakingly beautiful canvas of lush, deep drones and captivating melodies." [- Hot Press]
> >- HARDSLEEPER : Acclaimed minimalist electronica from Peter Maybury, "dark electronica that straddles a nebulous boundary between minimalist techno and American lo-fi." [- Irish Times]
> >- HYNES, NINA : Acclaimed Dublin singer-songwriter, "mixing pure pop, electronica and downbeat introspection into a single diverse, multi-layered yet coherent whole." [- Event Guide]
> >- LACEY TRIO, DAVID : Flaming free improvisation from fearsome forces of nature drummer David Lacey (Decal) and saxophonist Cathal Roche, ably aided by Keith O'Brien (Amoebazoid) on electronics.
> >- NANOLOOPERS : Improvised gameboy sequencer madness from Ritchie Egan (TheRedneck Manifesto) and Herv!
> >- NORTHSTATION : A new project by Steve Fanagan, who "plays with shady dave pajo guitar trips, broadcast samples, distorted vocals and cackling, wired-up sound contraptions, creating a warm graceful murmur." [- D'Side]
> >- NOTHING : "Pretentious Crap" [- The Slate]
> >- PKD : Experimental group whose simplicity and deconstruction of the cell-like nature of rock music incite the ever stimulating craziness that accompanies their performances...
> >- RATS OF THE SHINING PATH : Country'n'western grunge from the ashes of Chicks, "strange twisted country, heartbreaks for wrecks and dark clouds for redemption." [- bpfallon.com]
> >- SAFE : Safe specialise in creating organic sound pieces taken exclusively from field recordings.
> >- SOMADRONE : Ambient Electronica from Neil of the Connect Four Orchestra, "twisting and teasing deliciously weird sounds into thrilling shapes." [- HotPress]
> >- TYCHO BRAHE, THE : Engrossing, beguiling and blissful drone-pop from Donal
> >& Carol (Plague Monkeys) and Dee Dermody (Jimmy Cake).
