Three and a half years on and people want to call us techno because we happen to use keyboards. I tell people we're house, they still don't listen....I simply wanted people to know that I recognize classic pop songs and I try my best through hard work and discipline to deliver them." -- letter to _True Tunes News_ 6:12 (summer 1994), pg 6 "There is no pretension about how pretentious we are in the Joy Electric squad." -- _Ricochet Internet Magazine_ interview, Dec 1997 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ::: Notes on discography format :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The well-organized and readable format is adapted from that of Lazlo Nibble.

The Sea Breeze video was shot in a classroom at an elementary school someplace in the same area.
