    Oh man, I haven't seen a reference to Zia since 96-97.

    As of lately I've been refraining from commenting in the "synth babes" posts as I feel vagina =/= credibility.

    Anyway .. I find Zia irratating. Not in a bad way, but because when they have it on a song, they have it. They tend to rely on the same rythmic patterns over and over unfortunately. When they don't, they're all over the place and they sound sort of sloppy.

    Elaine has one of those voices that if they tried hard enough to vary their sound and keep it consistent I think they could do very very well.

    Uh.. thanks, I think. :)

    Anyway, maybe you might like our recorded stuff better than the live shows. Live shows can be sloppy due to drunkenness, and also, you may be hearing the microtonality (or macrotonality) as "sloppy" in a sense that it doesn't lock into the 12 tones you're used to. Just a thought.

    Lots of ZIA music is here: ZiaSpace.com (MUSIC link)

    Oh, another great excuse for being "sloppy" is that our live shows are ALL LIVE. We do not have any synths on backing tracks. We actually (attempt to) play it. :)
