Artist History redLymb (small r, big L) was founded by Andrew Fehr in the fall of 1998 remixing songs for his own pleasure. After tooling around with various trackers and methods of actually producing electronica for nearly two years, redLymb released Lithium (2000). Although it was a limited release the few discs out there managed to create a stable underground mp3 base for redLymb. The album was based around beats and beat structure which made for some real urban sounds to come out. He had only really used melody as the center of a song a couple of times on Lithium. The most prominent song that used melodies isntead of beats was Aurora. This was most likely a foreshadow of thing to come. After the initial underground release of Lithium Andrew went back to work, albeit on and off, and started to mess around with melodies. At around this time his musical influces changed from the heavy bass and tight beats of The Chemical Brothers and their American cousin, The Crystal Method, to the more light and atmospheric melodies and tones of Watergate. Thus the first single off redLymb's second cd was born. Space was an instant hit with the underground drum and bass urban fanbase Andrew had somehow conjured up. On a whim, Andrew signed up at mp3.com and uploaded Space. Within a week he had emails from around the globe. Most excitingly though was one email he recieved from Devilcat Records asking him permission to play space on their net radio station. Unfortunately it did not work out as planned. Andrew was fine with that. He had one song and one song wasn't going to cut it. He needed a cd. So with the support of a small portion of the internet music comminuty behind him he went to work on Fully Functional War Driven Animaltronics and was released on March 27th, 2001 through a local video-game rental store called Gamers Disco. FFWDA (short title) sold well and the cd was soon throughout southern Manitoba. At the initial launch of FFWDA Jake Peters, a personal friend of Andrew, took it upon himself to become the redLymb Manager/Promoter/Anything-else-that-has-nothing-to-do-with-the-music-er. FFWDA has been out for a week and Andrew gets right back into the "studio" to start producing his second trance cd. Although he did take some time off to do some special remixes of "The cest is yet to come" off of the Metal Gear Solid soundtrack and a special James Bond remix. These songs, however, will never be released. "They're for me to play for myself or maybe if/when I'm DeeJaying", says Andrew. Anticipation of the third installment of redLymb is high. "The new disc is much more textured than Fully Functional. It has many more dynamics to it.", continues Andrew, "The cover art will be done by me again but this time I'm actually going to put pencil to paper and draw out something. I kinda wanted to do that on Fully Functional but I wouldn't have made the March 27th date then. That's why this time I'm not setting any dates in stone until I have EVERYTHING done."
