"Syntax are Mike Tournier and Jan Burton (producer: Tim
Gordine), a London based duo with musical backgrounds fusing rock with
electronica. Mike is well known for his involvment as a 'groove technician'
with 90's electronica outfit Fluke, whilst vocal man Jan labels himself 'Mr
Five Piece Band and Guitars', with a passion for poetry, The Doors and Pink
Floyd. Their first single release was 'Pray' in 2002 which made the top 30,
packed out dancefloors and resulted in a signing to the Illustrious
label."

 ¾ 2004:
Meccano Mind
"'Meccano Mind' is a stunning debut from Syntax. Up-front
Jan Burtons unique & compelling vocals are combined with the electronic
touch of ex-Fluke producer Mike Tournier. Its a powerful combination, resulting
in a highly original sound at a time when a desperate music industry couldn't
be any blander. 'Meccano Mind' kicks off in style with the first two singles
from the album, Prayand Bliss; both are driving, upbeat vocal
dance tracks that have already made a significant impact on the dance scene.
But 'Meccano Mind' is far from being all rolling dance beats, as a significant
part of the album explores various down-tempo territory, all the while with a
rock-edge and Jan Burtons vocals adding drive and passion. As example of this,
Message is one of the slower tunes on the album but is the true gem, and
is what I am tipping to be a big tune if it gets the support it deserves from
media airplay. (...) Overall its so refreshing to hear an original sounding
production such as Syntax's 'Meccano Mind'. Essential."
