Oceansize is a difficultly categorizable band from Manchester, England. With root in Rock and influence drawn from tons of other styles, they've managed to create a trademark sound that is as melodic and subtle as complex and apparently chaotic. And somehow they get everything together.

Progressive Metal
OSI or Office of Strategic Influence is the superband led by Fates Warning guitarist Jim Matheos and ex Dream Theater keyboardist Kevin Moore. The act is more of a side project where both get together and melt in the pot their style into the already trademark sound this band owns. Incisive Metal riffing and vast electronic backgrounds in an obscure atmosphere is what we hear from this band. The peculiar voice from Moore is also key to the group's original sound.

Bonobo is a type of monkey and the stage name taken by British musician Simon Green. Specialist in the art of electronic crafts, he has developed his own style through the years by the pioneering usage of chilled beats and evolving loops. Many of his songs can arise by a very simple idea repeated over and over, but is the smart layering and musical drifting that makes it totally unique.

The project is quite recent and it comes to accomplish a vision that Cynic guitarist Tymon had several years ago in marrying these genres into one.
