Lost Ark
NEWS
Cooke Q's update 4th December:-
Well "The Snow" falls once again. This is certainly the vulnerable side of the World beneath the Decks project. Next WBTD track to get the final mixdown will probably be "Stalemate", probably in the new year.
Next track from us will be the demo version of "Devotio Moderna", from our as yet untitled third album. This will also appear in the new year, all being well.
Until then..

Until then..
The Lost Ark project was established in 1999. So far we have completed 1.9 albums. The act consists of Cooke Q (production / instruments) & Battle M (vocals / artwork). The project may incorporate other entities for album three.
These are:-
2003's "Territorial"
2008's - "World Beneath the Decks" (due for a proper release, this year - we hope).
We are currently working on our third and final album.

Why this name?
Because our musical direction depends on our current interests and influences. We do not follow any set path or rules and want to stake our flag against musical stagnation..RRRRRRR!
Do you play live?
We haven't played live yet. We would need a lot more backing before this ever became an option.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet is great for making a wider choice of music available. This can only be a good thing. It's a challenge to get your music heard though, with so much competition out there.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Cash permitting, we would love to have our own label or perhaps even a media empire..a decent volume of CD / MP3 sales would be nice to start with.

Your influences?
We both have quite different musical tastes, which hopefully means that we draw from a very wide sphere of influence. The acts that spring to mind are:-
Cooke Q's list (past and present, in no particular order)> Acen, 808 State, Orbital, Goldfrapp, Saint Etienne, Hanin Elias, Alec Empire, Kirsty Maccoll, Aim, The Prodigy, The Herbaliser, Way Out West, Infected Mushroom, Enigma, The KLF. Plus many others that have undoubtedly made their own mark somewhere along the line.
Battle M's list (past and present / no order):- Madonna, Nine Inch Nails, Dub War, Skindred, Green Day, Manic Street Preachers, The Prodigy.
