It was expected that I should just 'learn to' play with the other violinist, and it was made known that she will be in the band--with or without me. So, it was time for me to make a difficult decision. I joined this band because I wanted to branch out into the challenging and exciting repertore, and also into the genre of fusion. I wanted to play the parts that Jerry Goodman had played in the Mahavishnu Orchestra--NOT play duel leads, or be part of a string section.

I felt that with everything I had contributed to the band, my opinion and position would have carried more weight. Apparently, this was not the case. I felt that I had to stand by my instincts. I could have bitten my tongue and just played, but that was not why I was in the band in the first place. It would not have been enjoyable in the least, and I would have eventually have left anyway..

So, now I have moved on, and have been doing some more collab recording with Space Mirrors and Spirits Burning. I need to turn to making another solo CD and would like to take it into an EVEN more spacerock/trance/world fusion direcdtion than UFOsmosis, perhaps forming a live band to perform with after it is completed.

I really appreciate my fans who have stood by my decision to leave the band, and have continued to support me in every way. Your support means the world to me!

Thanks everyone.. YOU ALL ROCK!!!!

Osiris The Rebirth is the brainchild of veteran space-rocker Dave Adams.

The original Osiris was a spacerock band of Dave's from 1987-88. Twenty years later, while playing bass with Hawkwind tribute band Assassins of Silence, Dave had the idea of forming a band to resurrect some of the old Osiris87 songs and push the idea forward. He initially joined forces with a fellow Assassins founder-member Milo Black, and the duo began reworking some of the more promising old Osiris songs. New songs also quickly began to take shape, and the music began to evolve, taking a more progressive rock direction while retaining the spacerock elements.

Dave was keen to keep the Osiris name.... as were all the other bands in the world called Osiris..... the name Osiris The Rebirth seemed to say everything it needed to. The duo were all-but self-sufficient as a recording unit, and the band settled as a collective, with Dave and Milo as core members and guest contributions from other artists, to add colour, variety and better singing.

The first Osiris album Remnants of Life was released in November 2009, with guest contributions from Nik Turner, Bridget Wishart, Cyndee Lee Rule and many others.

".....one of my most played albums of the year."Jeff Fitzgerald, Aural Innovations

A second album, titled Lost, will appear in 2011, featuring Bridget, Cyndee and Jude Merryweather of Underground Zero. Preview tracks now on this page:

Below is some info on the project:

Osiris The Rebirth is the brainchild of veteran space-rocker Dave Adams.
In 2007, while playing bass with reknowned Hawkwind tribute band Assassins of Silence, he had the thought of resurrecting one of his early bands, Osiris. First stop was fellow Assassins founder-member, guitarist/producer Milo Black, another veteran of the music wars with a 20-year recording pedigree. Old Osiris songs were rearranged and reworked, and new music in a similar vein began to
emerge at speed.

After some experimentation with personnel, the band settled as a collective, with Dave and Milo as core members and guest contributions from other artists. The debut CD Remnants Of Life features guest appearances from ex Hawkwind members Nik Turner (flute) and Bridget Wishart (vocals), and well-known space-rock violinist Cyndee Lee Rule.

Further lead vocals are provided by ex-Assassin James Hodkinson, currently with space-rockers Xoo and performing with Pre-Med, and by Texas-based singer Kim Novak, with whom Milo previously collaborated on the Raspberry Silk album Inner Voices.

Although not a concept album as such, the CD plays as a continuous piece, one song merging into the next, with the eight main songs framed with short dialogue inserts, suggesting that the listener is a passenger on an interstellar voyage and perhaps implying that the songs represent the fragmented images and half-dreams that might be experienced during travel through some hypothetical non-Einsteinian space.

The music marks out the OTR home turf of space-prog a blend of
Hawkwind-esque space-rock, instrumental excursions reminiscent of Ozric
Tentacles, and the experimentation with odd meters and varied orchestration typical of progressive rock. The Hawkwind and Ozrics influence is to the fore, but there are many nods to other bands and genres even extending to some classical influence in the linking piece Gymnofeetie (a slanted reference to Satie's Gymnopedie No 1) and the piano introduction and coda to Dragonslayer.

Osiris clearly do not intend to be pigeonholed the final three tracks on the CD comprise a spacey instrumental, an accessible power-ballad with a smoky sax solo and romantic lyric (although still set in a science-fiction context) and a 15-minute prog epic, ticking all the boxes for symphonic intro, odd meters, oblique lyric, extended instrumental sections and of course - electric violin.]]> http://cyndeeleerule.com/news.html#68 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 www.cyndeeleerule.com - Cyndee Lee Rule - News http://cyndeeleerule.com/news.html#67
Thank you all for flying the flag in Greg's memory. We now have both of Greg's
OOP solo albums online at Mike Dickson's website. Please download them (VBR/HQ
MP3) and share them with anyone that might have an ear for the kind of smart
forward-thinking electronic music that Greg wrote.

Until such time as I get these albums back into print, and organize his
remaining output into releasable product, these pages will serve as a way for
people to hear his music.

I will get his latest solo album "The Noble Gases" out the door over the
weekend, despite what seems like a never-ending obstacle-course to get through.

Sharing Greg's music is the best way to honor and remember him now.. Please share..]]> http://cyndeeleerule.com/news.html#66 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 www.cyndeeleerule.com - Cyndee Lee Rule - News http://cyndeeleerule.com/news.html#65
I am re-posting a message from Steven Davies-Morris of Systems Theory. Greg Amov was a vital member of the project, and had composed some of the tunes on my CD, UFOsmosis..

Steven's message:

Good morning,

it is with regret, but also relief, that I pass on that Systems
Theory band-member, long-time Multi-Value/dbms programmer and
computer teacher Greg Amov died last night after a hard few months
battling cancer for the second time. Some of you may recall that he
had esophageal cancer three years ago. Eventually it came back,
became systemic, and it was the cancer that had spread to his brain
that took him away from us.

Amidst the turmoil and sorrow of his death, I'd like to say that it
was very peaceful and quiet at his end, which was a relief after
all the physical struggle of the last few weeks. It was clear to
everyone around him during the afternoon that it would be sometime
Tuesday, so his family convened to be with him. His wife was at his
side when the final breath was taken.

I do not yet know exactly what sort of memorial there will be, or
when / where it will be held. But something appropriate to Greg's
life and beliefs will be organized soon. I will pass on that
information when I have it.

Thanks to all that contacted the family through me and through
Systems Theory to express hope, support, sympathy, wishes for a
speeding passing, etc. That various branches of the progressive
music community, and those that he worked with closely on recent
programming projects, had been in touch with me meant a great a
deal to Greg. Hundreds of emails, text messages and comments were
posted to various forums in his final weeks, and that he was so
well-regarded and admired means a great deal to me personally as
his best friend of 32 years.

In the midst of the sadness of his passing, let me add a bright
note. Last night I got access to Greg's pair of music computers
(named "Fripp" and "Eno" after two stellar musicians he admired).
Everything that I could have hoped to find musically was there --
the masters for his two OOP CDs were there, plus several unreleased
completed projects, some long-forgotten projects, and new tunes
earmarked for both solo, Systems Theory and ViolinCyndee. So there
will be new music under his name in the next year or so, as well as
the re-release of the wonderful "The Dark Within The Dark" (2001)
and "Gecko Highway" (2005) albums.
