The Engine-Earz Experiment represent some of the absolute best live production of underground electronic music. Their ability to fuse synths, samplers and computer-generated beats with instruments like the guitar, flute, bass, percussion and vocals, all live with such precision and quality makes me respect this crew and what they are doing so much more.

Hailing from Reading UK, this collective of musicians is comprised of just under a dozen members, not counting their extended family of collaborators. Producing what I can only describe as an edgy world-beat influenced sound, their tunes appeal to a wide audience of listeners. On live factor alone, they are are truly an amazing experience.
