Biographies:

1. Ornament is collaboration between artists Australian Joe Creighton & Simon Polinski. Previous works of these artists yielded Creighton's classic album"Holywell" and more recently "Falling Again" & Polinski's Hesius Dome [album]The Age of Steam[/album] and [album]Farewll Waltz[/album] releases on PSY-HARMONICS. This their debut album, bleu, is a lush sensory overload of deep intelligent ambient music that ebbs and flows with emotion, taking you to new places that are yet all so familiar, displaying a maturitity in their production making it an ideal listening treat for yesterday, today and tomorrow.

2. Ornament is a solo electronica/indie/folktronica music project based in the West Midlands, UK. More information at http://www.myspace.com/ornamentronica
