Thanks for doing all of this for me. I'm sure if it doesn't rock enough there's a good chance they'll change their minds after I finish the new one. If you'd like I can send you the songs as their finished so I could get your judgment.

At the moment  I have one song in the works for a new project that has more elements of rock, and the others i have planned also are all rock songs in a sense, other than one which is a classical type piano piece. . anyway, i'm definitely going to have a full length album out in the summer (probably june) and i might decide to have an e.p. come out first which would be either february or march.

At the moment, the album is only available as an mp3 download at several websites, and not a physical album.

Another thing is that I now realize there is not much of a rock element, though I do view it as progressive music, but perhaps not rock.

I've been having trouble deciding that myself. I'd think eclectic or avant could work, but that album is missing a lot of rock elements, such as drums or guitars, and as it's all synth, it could fit in prog electronic.
The problem with the electronic is that the new stuff that's in the works is more of a rock style, and would fit in either post/math, eclectic, or avant. I think eclectic is probably best because of the wide variety of styles.
I would, however, like the input of others before putting that forward, just to see where they feel might be best.

I heard your music a while ago but I guess I never actually commented on it here.  I like the theme, very good for comical/experimental purposes (whichever you with to go with).  Like everyone before, your keyboard playing is quite good, and the songs are very interesting.  I really like the keyboard sounds you use, what program is it?


It is indeed a full album, but I never thought of putting it forward to suggest new bands because I didn't want to feel like I was pushing my music over others that could use the attention.
The purpose of the music is comical/experimental. I'm a big fan of humour in music ie Zappa, Primus, and the likes and I feel that since humour is a big part of my personality, that should be reflected in the music.
For keyboard sounds, I have a Yamaha s08 synth, which is basically a midpriced version of the s80. For recording, I just go with the freeware audacity, since it's all I can afford. The sounds you here are pretty much what came out of my keyboard, with some effects added on (reverb, delay here and there, but nothing much).
If you'd like to suggest it to new bands and artists I would be grateful, and thanks for the comments.

Thank you very much. Smile
If you'd like, and this goes for anyone, I can send you the full album if you wish to review it, I could always use some reviews.
Also, I could use a favour, since I have a lot of difficulty classifying the things that I write so I have trouble describing it to others, so if anyone could tell me what sort of sense/style they get from the songs I would appreciate that.
There should also be some new ones coming soon.


I would like the album but then I couldn't promise how good the review would be or if I could write a review for it, it seems I've had a bit of writers block recently as well as school issues. But if the offer is available...


You don't have to write a review, I'm glad to share my music with anyone that appreciates it. In fact, I just set it for free download on last.fm. so anyone that wants it can download it.

That's all right, I just got back to school and streaming anything here is extremely difficult because the connections are so bad here.

If anyone is interested, my full album can be streamed at http://www.last.fm/music/Deus+Ex+Pizza

I appreciate any listening/commentary/reviews anyone is able to offer, be they positive or negative.

Also, to keep up with news, a second currently untitled album is in the works, and will hopefully be preceeded by an EP, as I'm looking to do a split with another group, it's just been something I've wanted to do for a while. I'm hoping to have it out over the summer. This one's going to have more instruments than keys on it, which will bring more of a rock sound, and naturally, as time changes, so do musical interests. Anyway, the next one is influenced  quite a bit by Van der Graaf Generator and also French composer Yann Tiersen and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, along with older influences like King Crimson, Porcupine Tree, Rick Wakeman, and the Romantic era of classical music and countless others.
Thanks for reading and whatever input you can provide.
