#011 - AP2

Already defunct AP2 was formerly known as Argyle Park. Argyle Park was active mid-90s and after reactivation for couple of years in the end of the 90s "they" used that other name. They is in quotation marks in there, since it seems that there seem to be only one guy, Scott Albert, in this band. He's just using different aliases. One alias is not officially identified, but there's some rumors that it could be MTV producer Chris Martello. But anyway this project seem to be more or less the brainchild of Albert, who is lately been more known under moniker Celldweller.

Even though AP2 is categorized as Christian music you really have to know this beforehand. At least I didn't get any Christianity from this. The mix of techno, guitars, samples, distorted vocals and lots of other stuff creates quite interesting sound. Sometimes this reminds me of Prodigy, but this is definately not a Prodigy ripoff. Every listening shows some new side of this group. Interesting group after all.

Here's a nice sample from the Suspension of Disbelief album released 2000.
