Album Notes

"Imagine Joe Satriani jamming with Orbital and Prodigy..." -- listen.com, on STATE4

Start with one guitar with a split personality -- half the time it sings sweet and beautifully, the other half it spends growling metal influenced shred.

Marinate the guitar in a sauce of equal parts techno synth, wild dance beats, and complex drum'n'bass arrangements.

Top this with a cup of dark ambient sound, and finally add a sprinkle of world music spice. Bake at 350 for 71:19 (total CD playing time) and cut into 14 tracks. Serve hot.

Crossover fusion just doesn't get any cooler than STATE4's self titled debut release. It tastes exotic, it tastes unique, it tastes one-of-a-kind. Yet no matter how much you listen to this album you will always be ready for seconds. Check it out!

 an ambient affair is the premise for STATE4 music and good ambiance at that...the progressive electronic route really is a stand out. on the other hand, the slow melancholy style is elegantly done. take your pick raw42 Monthly Music www.ward42.com/raw/

 STATE4 plays a lot of different types of music. Some is calm, some is more aggressive, and some is just plain beautiful. They do ambient music, techno, rock, funk, and other genres. Anyway you look at it, their music is a success. TouCanDo.com http://www.toucando.com/music/bands

 Schizophrenic fusion of progressive guitar virtuoso-style with Dark Ambient soundscapes, Techno beats, and an Industrial edge. Imagine Joe Satriani jamming with Orbital and Prodigy. listen.com
