Redshift (music)
Redshift are a British electronic music group, founded in 1996 by Mark Shreeve. Their musical style ranges from Berlin School to dark ambient. Their sound is largely dependent upon older synthesiser technology, notably instruments such as the Moog 3C which they combine with more recent digital technology.
Lineup
The lineup of the band currently consists of Mark Shreeve, Julian Shreeve, and Ian Boddy. Former band members were Rob Jenkins who departed the band in 2002, and James Goddard who has been unable to perform as part of Redshift due to other commitments since 2006.[1]

Trivia
The first letter of the title of each of the first nine albums can be combined together in a particular pattern to spell out the name of the band. Take the first letter of the albums Redshift, Ether, Down Time, Siren, Halo, Faultline and Toll. The remaining letter i is formed by using the first letter of the album Last, and placing the first letter of the album Oblivion above it as the dot.
