Three Years in Tibet is a gothic float band 80's style,dark and moody,floating grooves,intricate wordscapes woven throughout.Band/artist history
it began in 1984 in Melbourne, Florida, with the name 'Fact or Fear', myself barry norton began writing and recording songs with mark amis on a weekly basis, which eventually became over 50 compositions from 1984-1986. in july 1985 we released the vinyl album 'Brittle Branches', from which the single 'beyond tibet' received college airplay in Florida, and british radio airplay. Mark and i experimented alot with non instruments used in percussion , and multitudes of fx, and my personal favorite; a six foot lenght of corrugated vacuum tubing from a computer printer, which Mark sang many of our songs through, we even took it into the studio for the lp cuts! it gave him a 'disembodied' sound. the band consisted of : barry norton on guitar, bass, keyboards, percussion, effects, drum programming, backing vocals, and mark amis on vocals, effects, bass, and drum programming, most of the music was written by barry norton with a few tracks by mark amis, and the lyrics were written together at my mitchell manor studio. we also had a little help from friends, mark valentine played bass on 4 tracks, and vig was involved in production on a couple of tracks, and one of marks old girlfriends wrote lyrics with us for 1 track.Your musical influences
