Drawing on the rich inspirational legacy of Electronic pioneers such as Tangerine Dream, Ashra, Tim Blake, Klaus Schulze and Joe Zawinul, Etherfysh has forged its own unique identity over seven albums. The sonic palette of Etherfysh also takes on elements of progressive and space rock to create lively and engaging soundsapes.

2002 -  The release of the “Musick In The Quay Of Sea” became the debut CD EP.  If nothing else the EP displayed the diverse styles that ran through Etherfysh, from the sequencer driven Berlin School “Fireclown”, the rockier fusion of “Secrets” and the dreamy textures of “Elysium” marked the beginning of common themes more fully realised on the later album “A Box Of Fysh”.  “Quay” received a limited distribution and became an overlooked item within the Etherfysh discography. Christmas was the opportunity for the first instalment of the “Yule Tide” project. Conceived as a thank you to the first Etherfysh listeners “Yule Tide” was issued as a musical ‘Christmas Card’ becoming the embryonic first steps of an interactive concept between Etherfysh and fans. The Mystery Schoal as it became known has taken a backseat since Etherfysh’s growing popularity made it difficult to develop further.

2003 -  Was a fairly inactive time as far as Etherfysh was concerned with only “Yule Tide 2” being given free once again to fans.

However this year was marked by many collaborations. American space/progressive rock band Donnamatrix worked on “Orange” (later on the Box Of Fysh album), which became a song in it’s own right re-named “Higher”, while Etherfysh contributed to a Donnamatrix song “Vampire”. US based guitarist James Harlow was invited to add guitar to the track “Armada” (which appeared on “Pandoras Box”), and Donnamatrix vocalist Donna Rapp  also began jamming to a few Etherfysh songs.



2004 -  Finally saw the release of the album “A Box Of Fysh”, although the album had been ready since 2003 a house move and other hiatus meant the delay only heightened anticipation. Initial copies (the first 25) were released as a double set with the disc “Pandoras Box”., which quickly sold out as did the following two pressings, A Box Of Fysh has been reissued yet again in response to demand in March of this year.
“A Box Of Fysh” continued to explore and define the Etherfysh sound, the epic “Sanctuary” charted in the top 3 on the Astreaux World radio station.  The fusion of  traditional EM, progressive rock, ‘jazz’ elements has become a firm favourite amongst listeners. Two tracks ; “Sanctuary” and “Rama” were used  as the soundtrack to the DVD “You On A Diet Workout” by Michael F. Roizen and Mehmet C. Oz.
A chance meeting in London with Jan Hanford -Buckman led to an invitation to join Magnatune’s roster of artists. “A Box Of Fysh” was warmly welcomed as John Buckman Magnatune’s founder commented; “Jan and he got to chatting about his music, so she asked him to send in his work. He did, and it was this lovely, utopian synth with some savvy rhythmic references as well--like a jazz-inflected Tangerine Dream. A complete natural for Magnatune's electronica collection.”

2005 -  “Stasis”,  recorded to 24-track and mixed at The Resurrection Sound Kitchen. Released in January 2006, a concept album based on the story of an astronaut’s separation from his spacecraft “Stasis” has become an engaging and refreshing release on the EM scene encompassing a wide range of Electronic Music themes with perhaps the most fully realised Etherfysh sound, as reviewer Andy Garibaldi commented; “The best bit is that it's totally accessible yet doesn't take its cues from any one band or style, yet covers a wide range of thirty years of synth music without ever sacrificing its consistency.” Original and unique indeed.
 An alternate mix of the track “Orbit” was issued on the Sequences Magazine CD, Issue 31.

2007 -  In February the release of the limited edition album “On Your Way Home” has almost sold out of it’s 150 copies. Once again Etherfysh explores a varied style of EM, stamping it’s own unique voice and perspective on the 62 minutes of music, with the loose concept of travel and personal journeys.
