Jonteknik – Giants Under The Microscope (download version)

Release date: 19th March 2013

Where: iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and all good download stores.


Jonteknik returns with a new collection of electronic tracks for your listening pleasure. Having released a promo CD of ‘Giants under the microscope’ last year as well as an e.p entitled ‘Orientation’, it was felt the time was right to release an expanded version of the album combining the best of the two releases.

Jonteknik has recently officially remixed the new single ‘Metroland’ by synth pioneers Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. This was a return to the Paul Humphreys (of OMD) link as Jonteknik co-wrote, programmed and co-produced some of the material by ‘Onetwo’ (also featuring Claudia Brücken) a few years ago, including programming duties on ‘Cloud 9’ which features Depeche Mode’s Martin Gore on guitar.

Detroit-based sound engineer and producer Dave Stawecki has beautifully mastered ‘Giants under the microscope’.

For Laymedown

James John Turner

is a singer-songwriter with a lot of history in his home town of Liverpool. The city's diverse musical melting pot was a heady influence on James, who started playing guitar and singing from a ridiculously young age and unbelievably played gigs at the Liverpool Cavern (the Junior Cavern sessions) from the tender age of 9. After leaving school, James began working at Liverpool docks, but he continued to throw himself into his music, and played most evenings and weekends in the city.

After quitting his day job James fronted several different line-ups including Lies all Lies, playing a rock'n'roll-meets-new-wave guitar style music; hanging around in the legendary Eric’s Club. Later he fronted The Electric Morning and released records on the Liverpool indie label Probe Records. But not wanting to just be a local band, the Electric Morning toured with American bands such as the Rain Parade, True West, and The Long Riders, playing all around the UK and Europe. Both John Peel and Andy Kershaw played the Electric Morning records enthusiastically. James quickly attracted the interest of the UK music media. Kev Sampson in Melody Maker said "it's the singer that makes this lot special, with a manic stage presence and a huge Bono style voice". After paying his dues on the road James decided to open a studio, which turned out to be the renowned Liverpool Hard City Studios. It was in Hard City that James recorded his debut solo album: The Believer that was finished and mastered the album in the world famous Abbey Road Studios.

The Believer was released to massively positive critical acclaim, and singles released from the album garnered extensive national and European radio playlisting. Such was the interest generated that the album was selected by Virgin/BPI for their Best of British US Campaign, which distributed The Believer in Virgin shops throughout North America. James was the only male singer/songwriter selected for this campaign, and the response was immense with all copies selling out.


James released his new album “How Could We Be Wrong?" in 2012. For this album James went back to his roots, using acoustic guitars, mandolin and violin, as well as a rhythm section and featuring Henry Priestman on accordion, Mark Knight the “Mad Fiddler” on violin, Etienne Girard on bass, Paul Walsham on drums and Vicky Mutch on cello. There has been great critical acclaim for this album, here are a few excerpts from the many great reviews:

“James J Turner is a superb talent; a strong mature musician, with a great sound.” Classic Rock Society Magazine

“How Could We Be Wrong? is probably the very best folk rock record of 2012. A must listen release, an album which quite simply puts others into the shade. So organic sounding it’s like it’s been lived and breathed into existence”. Ringmaster Review

“Rating: 5/5 …. How Could We Be Wrong? really is one of the best folk sounding albums that I have heard so far in 2012 … Turner has a rich and hypnotic sound to his voice … he is a great song-writer ….the album is right on every single level and I can’t wait to see what he does next.” MALEXTRA / FEMALE FIRST Celebrity Magazines

“How Could We Be Wrong? is so right on every level …. this is music that makes it’s mark – hard and deep …. Potent lyrics, a rich powerful voice, timeless acoustic rock-tinged folk … played live could easily attain anthemic status” Tim Carroll, Folkwords

“Passionate … Mike Scott with a baseball bat … Turner delivers with an honesty and commitment” Steve Caseman, R2 Magazine

“Tremendous, strident vocals … music with oomph but also integrity” Pete Fyfe, Maverick Magazine .

“… driving rock rhythms combined effortlessly with a Irish folky feel … James’s passionate vocals convey the down to earth authenticity and simple wisdom his lyrics bring ... memorable melodic lines. ” Janet Roe, Folking.com

“it’s all quite irresistible, so How Could Anyone fail to warm to James’s music?” David Kidman, Folk and Roots Magazine

“The real greatness of ‘How Could We Be Wrong’ is that it is one of those albums that crosses generations of music. This is an album that will never sound dated.” Steve Tay, A Musical Priority Magazine
