Alias Eye was founded in late 1998 when Philip Griffiths, Matthias
Richter, Frank Fischer and Ludwig Benedek, who had been playing together for
over four years, teamed up with keyboarder Vytas Lemke. After writing a
repertoire of songs, the band recorded their first CD Beyond The
Mirror in 1999, which was very well received by the international
press
In spring
2000, the band was brought into contact with the dutch label
DVS-Records
who signed Alias Eye in November of that year. Work on
Alias Eye's debut album Field of Names began
immediately; an adept producer was found in Christian Schimanski, who had a
grasp of the sound and feel the band was aiming for.
The album was finally completed in March 2001 after 5 long months at
Blue Sky Studios in Southern Germany. Encompassing 10 songs and
clocking at a total of 54 minutes, Field of Names represents
the essence of Alias Eye's music, a diverse collection of
tunes from a variety of different genres, ranging from rock, pop, funk, jazz
to classical.
Two years after the release of
Field of Names the band returns with their second album A
Different Point of You. Recorded, mixed and mastered at Christian
Schimanski’s Blue Sky Studio, the band spent almost a year
arranging and recording the album. This time round, Alias Eye
had the added bonus of being able to use the studios new state of the art
equipment, installed just before the band started their recordings. A
Different Point of You boasts 9 new tracks and documents the band’s
increasing joy of experimenting with a variety of different genres. For
example, A Clown’s Tale, the first track on the album, boasts a host of
Arabian instruments that are combined with heavy guitar riffs and extended
vocal parts, whereas Too Much Toulouse wallows in the melancholy of a 30ies
jazz club. Get ready for the ride!
