IN

I Am A Model

1982
New-wave art-rock with driving yet restrained grooves and radical electronic landscapes created with guitar and the classic Arp Odyssey synth - intelligent, sensitive, conceptual, sensual.

It's Just In Style

New-wave rock that captures the exuberance and experimentation of the early eighties. Guitar and synth based songs. The beginnings of John's unique musical style which has evolved into the present.
