Artist History I was brought up in the shadow of the Flexsys chemical plant which gave my life a constant industrial background ambience. I moved to Ynys Mon four years ago and subliminally realised this ambience wasn't there any more, I found myself trading my guitar for a PC and my Godflesh CD's for Brian Eno and Biosphere. My life was missing something and Mank was the answer.

Press Reviews MP3.com listeners comments : "very intresting styles and influences" "I really like your shit. Keep up the creativity." "....you wear your influences well." "Lazy Techno tunes layer dubby basslines with acidic bits and dominating synths. Acoustic guitars rhapsodize over ebbing aquatic samples and stomping, textured percussion." Melissa P. (listen.com) Any one care to add more ?
