first an introduction

This is the web site of a band called the systematics. once upon a time, they frequented the lively pioneer valley scene. Alas, the time of college and life has descended, and the band is now on a fragmented schedule consisting of rushed rehearsals, recording and gigs. nevertheless, this limited time together has resulted in more concentrated and focused productivity than ever before. so while the systematics are not a predictably occurring public phenomenon, they are still the occasionally twinkling star in your night sky.

New Album!!!

Many keepers on The Systematics? new CD
Thursday, June 19, 2003 -- LISTENING to "Full Circle," the debut disc by The Systematics, I am once again reminded how lucky I am to live in the Valley.

This CD is a spectacular collection of music from 5 talented young artists. The music is amazing and well recorded. Each song has meaning and both musical and lyrical genius. Throughout the cd many of the bands talents are showcased in different songs. There is also a wonderful balance of slower and faster songs so the listener never gets bored. All in all, I would recommend this cd to absolutely anyone, it's nearly impossible not to find something you like!
