STYLE... Gothic, Industrial, Darkwave

The Electric Haze is available now. A favorite of dance-enthusiasts, the singles "Electric Haze" and "The Vast Unknown" have both received much attention, while "Fire Bolt" has been licensed by Espresso Lingo, of The Dalles for use in the popular coffee shop's radio advertising. With influences as diverse as hard dance (juno reactor) to goth (siouxsie and the banshees) it is no wonder that the music of the dead poets offers a rich texture which is as unlike standard electronic music as the Grand Canyon is to an irrigation ditch. The diversity of the band comes as no surprise to those who know the band's three extremely different members. The driving force behind the music is Wa, programmer, percussionist, and songwriter. His extensive training in percussion makes sure that the dead poets music always retains a driving beat and a great sense of proportion and balance. Tim Gibson's contributions of ëall things stringed' adds a sense of ethereal beauty and often down to earth chord-and-melody combinations which soothe the listeners aural sensibilities. The third head on this musical hydra is Raven Nightshado whose keyboards and vocals lend a sense of melancholic wonder. Become a member of the Society. Discover what lurks in The Electric Haze.

REVIEWS...

"I started to listen to the music of D.P.S and I found something strange, a kind of sound I`ve never heard... The title track "the electric haze" surprised me very much, the whole composition, including the guitars, turns into a very powerful sound that produces an extraordinary feeling." --Virtualizer, VTN Inc. Records

"The new album combines surprisingly diverse influences including East Asian, Middle Eastern, techno-pop with a strong dance beat and electronic sampling from pop culture influences including movies, television, literature, and even video games." --The Dalles Chronicle

"(fire bolt) ...is a really good Electronic track." --Shock to the System

"'I don't (andrea's fault mix)' absolutely blew me away!" --Neonangel

"Great electronica songs. I like especially the song 'so much beauty'. Check it out!" --Depiction

"Hi, just wanted to say thanks for the great music. Electric haze is a masterpiece and I love to listen to it when I'm training. The music is slow and builds up a harmony between the body and the soul. I think we can all use some more of that..." --Peter Myllykoski (fan letter)
