Artist History IT ALL STARTED IN A HIGH SCHOOL IN CLUJ NAPOCA IN 1990, WHEN TWO BEST FRIENDS, FELIX AND ALIN, DECIDED THEY WANTED TO MAKE MUSIC A CAREER AND DEVELOP A NEW ROMANIAN STYLE OF MUSIC, THEY CALLED TRANSYNTHPOP, STILL ANCHORED TO THE LEGACY OF DEPECHE MODE, THOUGH. VERY RAPIDLY THEY CAME OUT WITH TONS AND TONS OF MATERIAL AND SOON ENOUGH THEY RECRUITED THE THIRD MEMBER, SEBI(THE TRUE MUSICIAN). IN NO LONGER THAN TWO YEARS THEY DOMINATED THE LOCAL SCENE BECOMING A HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE FAVORITE. AS THE DEMANDS FOR LIVE SHOWS INCREASED, THEY WELCOMED TWO NEW MEMBERS, ANDREI, AND LATER ON, PEDRO (M.MANDRUTIU). IN 1992, RIGHT AFTER THEIR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION, THEY RECORDED A DEMO EP("RULES FOR HUMANITY"), A BIG SUCCESS. EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE WORKING PERFECT, A SERIES OF EVENTS DIVIDED THE BAND. IN 1995,PEDRO EMIGRATED TO CANADA, AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT ALIN LEFT FOR SPAIN. IN 1996, FELIX MOVED TO THE UNITED STATES, ALSO. EVEN DIVIDED, THE MEMBERS CONTINUED TO WORK TOGETHER AND CAME OUT WITH A VERY POWERFUL SET OF SONGS. ALIN LOST CONTACT WITH THE REST AND VANISHED. THE REST OF THE BAND IS PLANNING A COMEBACK...
