Ethereal Synthpop

That's not my description for once; it's from OUTBURN magazine, by way of ToneZone Records:

Flowers and Machines delivers a unique sound that can be best described as a blend of Euro electronic with neo-classical influences. The members: Ken Gerhard and Kat Jones are both accomplished artists/songwriters who have combined forces to create a distinctive sound rich in emotion and beautifully honest. Gerhard's deep baritone voice contrasts beautifully with the ethereally angelic touches of Jones creating a seldom seen intimacy with the audience.

There are a few (ok, two) of Flowers and Machines' songs available at MP3.com, which isn't completely useless after all.

Does me no good, as I'm in Windows with no sound card -- don't ask, just don't -- but the mix cd still plays fine. And I'm transfixed.

Even if it is up to Robbie Robertson now, because I am amazingly slow typist-cutter-paster guy.

Update: Well, first off, you should definitely hit the ToneZone Radio link; there's one on the Flowers and Machines page as well as the home page. The latter also links to Underground inc.:

A family of record labels working together to tear things apart. Underground Inc, founded by Martin Atkins industrial music icon and legendary drummer for Ministry, Killing Joke and PigFace. We are setting the pace others will follow, in the new era of digital music, video and performance art. ToneZone is now distributed by Caroline.

Scarlet Life/Karma Sutra/Pointy Teeth label DivaNation is also an affiliate, which explains the line-up(s) on the NOTES FROM THEE REAL UNDERGROUND compilation(s).

Sorry, I will 'splain. No, is too much, I will sum up: buy the cd, shut up, and dance.

Simple enough?
