From those early days Steve has produced some of the finest other worldly electronics and is renowned around the globe.
With a large catalogue of music to his credit ranging from the dynamic sequencer trip of ‘Stormwarning’ over a decade ago to more atmospheric, tribal ambient electronics shown in latter years.
- RAINBOW SERPENT - Desert Move
Rainbow Serpent were Berlin Skool enthusiasts from the beginning but have moved up the ladder since, to a more classic retro sound. They are big on dynamics and melody with studio productions taking on a very professional sound. Some of the samples they use can have serious effects on your Hi-Fi.
- COSMIC HOFFMAN - The Gate of Bihar
Live recording from E-Live Netherlands 2000. Better known as Klaus Hoffman Hook and his project Mind Over Matter, has now taken on board in recent years more cosmic seventies sounding music, heavily featuring his pride and joy the Mellotron..

It’s hard to believe that Sequences started ten years ago..
After the demise of Inkeys and then Syntax in the early years, there was void left in the scene for fans of EM . After gently pervasion from Clive Littlewood (Electronical Dreams) Sequences was born, following the same format as the previous cassette magazines.
It was the advance in technology and the advent of CD’s that Sequences changed to a written magazine and accompanying CD from issue no14 onwards.
To celebrate our tenth anniversary we give you over 150 minutes of unreleased music from some of the leading musicians from around the world. The music on these discs are quite diverse and show many aspects of electronic sounds from ambient to synthrock. Something for everyone’s taste.
Interviews include ex D.A.T.T member Paul Ellis & Glimmer Room. Mike Oldfield talks about his new album tr3s Lunas and plans for Tubular Bells, which celebrate’s it’s 30th anniversary in 2003.
