Product Description
The Dead Poets Society.
Hailed by fellow artists in electronic rock, their singles "the electric haze", "so much beauty", "fire bolt", and the "the vast unknown" have been topping MP3.COM's charts for months. Now, their debut album, "the electric haze" has been released to the masses.
Music that engages the listeners. Sounds that include chanting soldiers (march of the megabytes) to the use of a double barrel shotgun (quintessential) the album is truly creative.
The Dead Poets sound like a cross between The Crystal Method and Siouxsie and the Banshees with Deep Forest and Enigma thrown in for good measure.
With "I don't (andreas fault mix)" the Dead Poets Society tells the agonizing story of a young rape victim. Songs that excite and songs that touch the heart, join the Dead Poets Society.
