Otto von Ruggins, self-proclaimed Master of the Unheard Øf, first played synthesizer at Shea Stadium during the Avant Garde Festival in 1974. His sounds attracted such crowds that he describes the effect as feeding pigeons. He put out an EP, 'Movie Viewers', that came w/ 4D glasses & a double groove, which included videos too hot for MTV back in 1980. Keyboardist for the amazing occult-punk band Kongress, the first review of their new album, BEYOND HUMAN declared,"These guys use electronics the same way William Burroughs used language."

Last year, Hello Music reviewed their 'Parallel Universe' masterpiece, stating that AVANT DUEL is "...on the cusp of greatness" and that their "music is its own art form" with comparisons to Daft Punk, Kraftwerk & The Pet Shop Boys. All that & they haven't even seen the video for the song, which you can see NOW on YouTube!
