A Sphere In The Heart of Silence cover imageIt's time to dive and join two long-term friends on their expedition through the depths of electronica. On the effort released under both of their names; John and Josh published some of the non-Ataxia material that was conceived during the performance shows at Los Angeles' Knitting Factory and a couple of other places. The first song, an instrumental titled Sphere had to be shortened by around 2/3, as the original version performed in December 2003 lasted about thirty minutes. The other songs, apart from the last one that somehow doesn't fit into the concept, being an intimate, short ballad, continue the travel through a completely different realm than the one a John listener is used to. John himself sings on three songs, while Josh sings on the other three. (© 2004)
