Sudden Creation

Maybe it began on April 18th 1980 with Buggles Age of Plastic and the sound of the SCI Prophet 5 and the ARP Solina String Synthesizer ...

Maybe it was April 10th 1982 at Fort Regent in Jersey seeing Depeche Mode and Blancmange live ...

However it started, the early eighties saw the beginning of Chris Mines' love affair with all things synthpop.

After spending two years in first band Cats Under Pressure, Chris and Wil Stapley became Mean Business in 1985. For a quarter of a century they have been making 80's tinged electronic pop and continue to write and record together despite living in different continents.

Sudden Creation, named after a erroneous Mean Business poster, is Chris' solo project. Unashamedly harking back to the days of the early 80's synthpop he fell in love with all those years ago, it has coincided with a resurgence in the genre, albeit predominantly female fronted.

Having already played local live dates, Chris is currently working on live tracks and recording the first batch of new Sudden Creation songs to be made available before the end of 2011.
