the model citizen (TM) brainchild of underground U K techno artist Daniel J Prendergast(aka various)as an outlet for productions with a more conceptual nature,Quote "the model citizen projects usually have some kind of theme,either trying to create a story or a visual picture,a more intelligent,sophistocated side of my music".
the listener can expect audio journeys brought about by prendergasts unhealthy obsession for motion and transport("trains feature heavily in my work")or stories that delve into multi-dimensionalism.
finally a point not to be left out is the return from the stars feeling about this album no spaceships and aliens here just good old down to earth steamtrains and engine parts.A unique take on techno.

Why this name?
i was searching for a name for this type of personality when it came to me in the form of a line in a film,the words stood out to me and the model citizen was born.
Do you play live?
currently dj on a regular basis-have played live in the past but dont like the idea of carting expensive equiptment all over,especially without flightcases.many special moments but still yet to crack the circle of techno hierarchy.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
without doubt for the better-it gives my music instant access to people.which is vital at this stage of my career
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
yes IF i was under all certain terms completely in control of the deal
