can anyone tell me a bit about his music, amazon tells me that people who buy the music I buy also bought him, but I ain't never heard of him!

I'm not sure if this is the man you're after but if you're talking techno then best check out the info/samples on http://www.midnightsunshine.com/.

I bought 'A History of Things to Come' some time ago and have to say that his music is a bit of an aqcuired taste. It's not a bad album (actually pretty good in places) but his style does not really hit the spot (for me anyway).

Hope this helps

Ian O'Brien works closely with Jamie O'Dell (Jimster) and Kirk Degorgio (As One)

They all make music which is classed as NuJazz. Ian is slightly electonic/leftfield, Jamie is more ambient and Kirk probably closer to Jazz. I think I have just about every album they have done and enjoy most of the stuff. Ian is harder to get into.

Out of interest what artist is it that led you to Ian?

well yes Lee this is the thing.

After the purchase of a bunch of Fila Brazillia, Boards Of Canada and Baby Mammoth, so I assumed it was a bit like this. Is it kinda heavy or just weird, bearing in mind I have nearly every Yes album done!

Where's that smillie depicting "hurt innocence" when you really need it?

Ah right from the Fila Brazillia vien.

In that case get them. It is very much the same kind of wierd sh#t. Jazz here, dance there, trip hop sometimes, wierdness for the hell of it with the odd filler and duff track.

Enjoy
