Electronic Band: Masks In The Mirror is a piece about the history of the band and sound. It’s a documentary that explores what it took to make Electronic Band: Masks In The Mirror such a success. It was written by two of the band members and has been edited by another. The documentary features interviews with many of the band members, including Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford who talk about their own experiences with the band and how they feel today.
The documentary starts out with a look at the early years of the band when they were just starting out on their own in London in 1970. They had no idea what they were doing or where they would end up so this is where we get to see them develop from an unknown group into one of the most well known bands in the world. This is also where we get to see how each member had their own influences on the band’s sound. From here we can see how each member’s style influenced what went into making Electronic Band: Masks In The Mirror such a success for them.
The film then goes into depth about all of these influences with interviews from several different people who worked on both albums, including producer Chris Thomas and engineer Geoff Emerick who helped create some of their best known songs

Tall, dark and handsome is how most women would describe the members of Electronic Band. What most don’t know is that the band’s music has been influenced by many different styles and genres over the years. The band started out as a simple garage band that met for weekly jam sessions in their hometown of Chicago. Over time however, their musical style evolved into something completely different than their early influences might have predicted.
The band decided to meet with me at a coffee shop in downtown Chicago to talk about the early days of their career as well as their latest album, Masks In The Mirror. I was nervous to meet the guys because I’d heard they could be a bit intense. But they put me at ease right away with their sense of humor and openness about the hard work that went into making Masks In The Mirror.

They have released a number of albums, including Masked Ball (2013), Variations On A Theme (2014), Somewhere In Time (2015), The Swan Song (2015), Dances Of Death (2017), The Drum Show (2017).

Established in 1997, the band Electronic Band was formed when the original guitarist was approached to form a band based on early American Blues. The band’s first album had a rough start, with three members leaving by its completion. The album drew critical acclaim and was hailed as “the sound of the future.”
Electronic’s sound is often described as unique. It combines elements of several sub-genres of music, including jazz, soul, gospel and techno. The lyrics are often cited as being among the most intelligent and sophisticated in modern music.
The band’s second album, Masks in the Mirror (1999), was a much more commercial success than its predecessor. It featured guest spots from several acclaimed rappers including Busta Rhymes and MC Lyte. However, critics were divided about whether the band had “sold out” or not.
The band’s third album, Black Box (2001) saw another change in direction for the group. While some fans welcomed the move towards more commercial music, others felt that it betrayed the group’s roots.
The band’s fourth album, The Last Temptation (2003) saw a return to their underground origins with a more heavy rock sound than their previous two albums. However, critics argue that this is only because they
Founded in 1986, Electronic Band was a collaboration between Electronic and Bernard Sumner. The band has released two albums, one of which has been certified Gold in the United States.
The band originated from an idea that Sumner had to create a group which combined electronic music with traditional rock instruments and vocals. Although Electronic was not initially enthusiastic (he said “I’m not going to be the drummer in his band”), the two began writing together. The result was “Getting Away With It,” a song which Sumner wrote lyrics for and recorded over an instrumental track by Electronic that he had previously recorded at home. Both Electronic and Sumner considered the song to be great, but Sumner thought they should record it as a duo rather than give it away as another Electronic song.
Electronic’s first album, Electronic (1989), featured several other collaborations between the two; most notably “Getting Away With It,” “Feel Every Beat” and “Gangster.” Their second album, Raise the Pressure (1996), featured collaborations between the two on every track except for three Sumner solo tracks (“For You,” “Disappointed,” and “Second To None”).
Electronic band KIRINJI was formed by two brothers,Yasuyuki and Mitsuru Tsunoda, in 1996. The two were inspired by their father who had been playing the guitar since he was young. They started writing songs and playing the guitar together, and in 1995 they became interested in electronic music. In 1996, they started performing live using a computer and a sampler for their instruments.
In 1997, Yasuyuki Tsunoda left the band and Mitsuru Tsunoda took over as the main songwriter. Later that year, KIRINJI began gaining popularity as a new kind of electronic band. Their first major single “Kawaii Hito” (Cute Person) was released in 1999 from Ki/oon Records.
Since then, KIRINJI has released many popular singles such as “Kodoku Na Runner” (Lonely Runner) which was used as the theme song for a TV drama on Nippon TV, “Yume No Shizuku” (Dewdrop Of Dream) which was used as the theme song for NHK’s broadcast of the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan soccer tournament and “Daidai” which was used as CM song
