The band’s groundbreaking work in the areas of trance, world fusion, electronica, punk, industrial, and lounge music has spawned a four-decade long career that has also taken them into the world of film and television music.

They have scored several episodes of The Pee Wee Herman Show, Hunterson the Discovery Channel, and the films, The Census Taker, Heaven, Conceiving Ada, Condo Painting, Thomas Pynchon: A Journey into the Mind, Investigation into the Invisible World, Strange Culture, and several projects for MTV.
