Although the name Analogue II wasn't unveiled until the early 2000s, this avant-garde rock/progressive rock band from North Carolina actually goes back to the ‘90s. Analogue II (whose direct or indirect influences range from Tortoise and Slint to King Crimson and Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention) is basically Analogue with a new name and a few personnel changes; in fact, three of the people who were in the first Analogue--David Heller, Jennifer Greer, and Matthew J. Westlake--went on to become members of Analogue II. Taking a bizarre, tripped-out, eccentric approach to avant-garde rock, progressive rock and psychedelic rock, the first Analogue came out of North Carolina in the mid-‘90s. Analogue's original lineup included Greer (electric keyboards, synthesizers, electric bass, glockenspiel) and Westlake (electric guitar, vocals) as well as David Cantwell (drums) and Christopher Karlof (electric bass, electric guitar); Heller (electric guitar, electric bass) joined Analogue a few years later.
