ISAN, that´s Robin Saville and Anthony Ryan, who met in sunny circumstances in Leicester, UK.ISAN stands for ›integrated services analogue network‹, and beside other reasons it reveals their interest in using dodgy old keyboards to make dodgy old noise. But with their new 6-track EP on Morr Music even the listeners who are new to the ISAN network will soon recognize, that the definition of dodgy old noise and analogue synth-sounds becomes a completely new dimension. ISAN's music is a kind of ambivalent thing: simple but pure, noisy but clear, strange but true, to mention only a few. the past of this band was couloured with a bunch of 7inches, several wide spread contributions, various LPs, and so on. Due to the constant quality of ISAN's work it´s not a surprise that they soon got an invitation doing a john peel radio show and an overwhelming feedback from the music press.

The NME compared ISAN with Plone and ISAN don't really complain about that. They mention being influenced by artists like Brian Eno, Stereolab, Autechre, My Bloody Valentine – being involved into the ISAN sound network you'll drop the name ISAN equal to their influences to your very best (girl-)friend and/or you'll find yourself whistling their beautiful melodies on several sunny circumstances as well. Another important merit of ISAN is maybe to completely calm you down because every piece of Robin and Anthony's music creates an amazing feeling of being ›distant‹ to every unnecessary thought, so just sit back, relax and let yourself go. The intention of ISAN to ignore common 4-to-the-floor dance patterns doesn't prevent you from finding yourself on a ship of it's own rhythmic; sometimes it steames and rolls, later on it just seems to slide over a sea of melodies and all around you things just disappear and fade away...
