New single only heard once, i think is called Pray? sounds like Underworld/ Fluke meets vintage A-Ha/ Psychedelic Furs.
Debut album coming in Spring 2003.

White label release 2002. After speaking to Fluke's management I can confirm that this release is a project by a certain former Fluke band member. This promo features two mixes, one of which is vocal based. Homing in on the instrumental you can expect a driving slice of Atom Bomb'esque trance, backed by rolling percussion and synths that bare all the hallmarks of the former Fluke member. This is an absolutely blinding tune - huge builds, atmospheric orchestral breakdowns and a thunderous b-line - if this is a sign of things to come from Syntax then they are definitely one to watch in the future. Over on the flip side is the vocal based mix; the structure is subtly different to the instrumental, geared towards the vocals (which are in the half-spoken Underworld style, as also used by Fluke frontman Jon Fugler, although this certainly isn't Fugler) which feature heavily through the track and giving this track a huge potential with mainstream dancefloors and DJs.
Many thanks to Julian Nuggent for the promotional copy of this vinyl.
