[edit] About

After the success of Fluke's album Risotto, Mike Tournier wanted to move to a much darker production style and so Syntax was born.

Despite the originality of Syntax's first album, Meccano Mind, the band suffered poor album sales- possibly due to a lack of support from their label- and a lack of overall recognition and disbanded in 2004 due to it.

[edit] Meccano Mind

Meccano Mind is a combination of Jan Burton, and Mike Tournier's different influences from rock and dance music, resulting in the production of powerful tracks such as Bliss, which have dark deep basslines along with guitar riffs and other electronic effects, as well as more gentle tracks such as Message.

The Japanese market release of Meccano Mind includes three additional tracks compared to the UK and US releases, entitled Sexograph, Woman, and Love Songs [I Wonder Why].

[edit] Television & Game Usage

Syntax's music has been used and highlighted in several television shows and videogames, including:

Syntax was also featured in the intro of Conviction on NBC, using their song Destiny.
