a band

Alternatively, you could try the music we have on Last FM

I relistened to the samples. I'm sorry but I still can't decide. What I hear is noisy ambient. Can the band suggest what's the track that they think is most representative?

Almost 4 years?!

I've voted for your RIO energy, but currently almost all of Avant Team members are off duty ... please let us take time.

This photo shows the lineup at last weekend's Supernormal festival, which includes ourselves headlining, along with several other bands who are listed on the PA database.   After the set we joined in with a friend's 36-hour performance for another 90 minutes or so.  (next year we aim to beat his 36-hours with a 700-hour performance, if we can find a venue)

Any progress with this yet?

Meanwhile, we're in the press again

Since my last post here we've played all over England, from Southampton to Newcastle, and now we're making a film.

for those who can't find a copy of the magazine, here's a photo of the review

I'll ask the Avant team for the evaluation. BTW I've heard of the A Band before, but I don't recall where. 

Update:

The Canadian album release I mentioned above is reviewed on page 64 of the current issue of The Wire magazine, which has also put our name on the front cover twice this year. 

That archive boxset idea I mentioned became a seven-hour set of DVDs filmed between 1991 and this year.

Our 20th anniversary tour included a five-hour set in the town where we first started, Nottingham.
 
We're about to embark on a regular monthly residency in a London art gallery. 

We've just headlined the last day of a Festival which Faust headlined on the previous night (One of Faust actually asked what time we were going to be playing, and somebody else played with both them and us, and said he preferred us)

We're probably not prog, that'd be too restrictive.  But to give you an idea of our sound, the recent gig included a cello, three violinists, three drummers, two theremins, various percussion & whistles, plus the usual guitar & bass & keyboards - there were more than twenty of us in all.
