Due to the generosity/perversity of one clever gift-giver, Rebecca and I last night were confronted with a DVD of a performance of our old band circa 1994. Sure, it was embarrassing and hard to watch, but it was interesting that one of the performances was a showcase for IUMA, arguably the first music site on the web. Part of the video showed the cameraperson navigating the dodgy website of our dodgy band. 1994 did not have a lot to offer in terms of web content, I was reminded.

- Halou
- "Simply one of the best bands in America"- KEXP radio "Proving their mastery of electro-organic music, Halou surface again striding light years ahead with their most compelling work yet" -Filter magazine "At times entrancing, effervescent, rousing, emotive, and ethereal, this trio leaps across musical boundaries with a truly transcendental album." - All Music Guide This year Halou celebrates 10 years as a band and returns with their most compelling work to date, Wholeness and Separation. Although It has been several years since their last release on Nettwerk Records ["Wiser" 2001], the band has hardly been dormant. The past few years have been spent using their production skills to help sculpt the sound of such artists as DJ Shadow, Lyrics Born, Frank Sinatra, Blackalicious, John Cale, Low, No Doubt and even a Rod Stewart remix which hit #1 on Billboard. In addition, Halou has scored 2 successful award winning films "This Girl's Life" starring James Woods and "Quality of Life". Throughout all of this, the band has still found the time to create their finest album.
