3. Modus is an independent electronic / experimental producer from Northern California.

4. Modus is an Alternative / Indie / Progressive-Rock band from NY, USA.

5. Under the same name, also a Scottish mod band.

Modus is the sort of band that makes accurate description difficult. They manage to create a sound that is totally unique to themselves. One does catch glimpses of their progressive influences such as Genesis/Peter Gabriel. This band certainly has the knack for creative song-writing in that one song may have a jazzy vibe with soul, while another song surprises you with it's heaviness and raw emotion. Despite the varying styles, the music manages to maintain it's continuity. Fans of Tool, Porcupine Tree, Radiohead, Coldplay, Pink Floyd, and Genesis will definitely get into this.

6. Under the name too, a lithuainian dark electronica band.
