About
After the success of Fluke's album Risotto,
Mike Tournier wanted to move to a much darker production style and so
Syntax was born.
Despite the originality of Syntax's first album, Meccano Mind, the band suffered poor
album sales- possibly due to a lack of support from their label- and a
lack of overall recognition and disbanded in 2004 due to it.
Meccano Mind
Meccano Mind is a combination of Jan Burton, and Mike
Tournier's different influences from rock and dance
music, resulting in the production of powerful tracks such as Bliss, which
have dark deep basslines along with guitar riffs and other electronic
effects, as well as more gentle tracks such as Message.
The Japanese market release of Meccano Mind includes three
additional tracks compared to the UK and US releases, entitled
Sexograph, Woman, and Love Songs.
Television & Game Usage
Syntax's music has been used and highlighted in several
television shows and videogames, including:
- The
O.C. - Pride
- Nip/Tuck
- Pride
- Bones - Pride
- Law & Order:
Criminal Intent - Pride
- DRIV3R
- Destiny
- The
Inside - Bliss
- CSI: Crime Scene
Investigation - Pride
- Kitchen Confidential - Pride
Syntax was also featured in the intro of Conviction on NBC, using
their song Destiny.
