Redshift (music)

Redshift are a British electronic music group.

Founded in 1996 by "Mark Shreeve", the band's lineup currently consists of Mark Shreeve, Julian Shreeve, and James Goddard. Rob Jenkins, a band member for most of the group's existence, left prior to their seventh album "Redshift VII - Oblivion". The band's 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.

Notes

The titles of the first five albums appeared to be spelling out the name of the band. In 2004 the sequence seemed to be broken with the release of 'Faultline' and 'Oblivion'. However, the liner for 'Last' cleverly restores the sequence.

*"(R)edshift"
*"(E)ther"
*"(D)own Time"
*"(S)iren"
*"(H)alo"
*"(I)" - a lowercase 'i', made from (o)blivion and (l)ast
*"(F)aultline"
*"(T)oll"
