A slight name modification, a line-up switch, and a major musical shift are the
not the only things that are evident about the new C-Tec album. The band has
finally shed the moniker of The Cybter-Tec Project, derived from their parent
label in favor of a trimmed down version of the name. Jonathan Sharp, best
known for his solo work as new Mind and Bio-Tek has left the project and has
been replaced by Marc Heal of Cubanate. Lastly, the old school EBM
influences have all but vanished in favor of a a heavily layered dark
Drum'n'Bass staple. Once again Jean-Luc takes he reins on most of the vocals,
but this time around he has shed most of the self-pity lyrics for more in your
face and violent approach. Perhaps the most odd item is that having heard the
debut EP two years ago, C-Tec sounds absolutely nothing like it's former self.
Instead the band has gone through a metamorphosis of sorts and has emerged from
it's cocoon a much tighter, upbeat, and polished project who is even gracing
North America with a much heralded tour. Will wonders never cease?
C-Tec are: Jean-Luc De Meyer, Marc Heal & Ged Denton
