Release date: 21-09-2007, Label: Infacted recordings
\nBy: Nina Mende<\/a><\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Intuition is the duo of vocalist Garrett Miles and programmer Ken Porter. Their
\n\u00a0 singles, “Two”, “Staring Off At Nothing” and albums, Further
\n\u00a0 and Overworked and Underplayed (2006) were released on A Different Drum Records
\n\u00a0 in the U.S. The latter, re-titled Stronger for the European market via Infacted
\n\u00a0 Recordings. Hailing from sunny Phoenix, Arizona, Intuition has taken the music
\n\u00a0 world by storm with their infectious and unforgettable sound. Fusing together
\n\u00a0 elements of techno-pop, R&B and traditional rock with an electronic backbone,
\n\u00a0 Garrett’s smooth and soulful voice gives the synthetic wizardry a warm richness
\n\u00a0 and unique trademark rarely found in today’s commercial music world.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Following the demise of the popular synth act, Intact, in the summer of 2001,
\n\u00a0 Germany raised Ken Porter set out to form a new band with a new vocalist. Ken
\n\u00a0 wanted someone whom shared his vision, focus, and desire to produce music which
\n\u00a0 would cross genre boundaries and appeal to a mainstream audience. After a chance
\n\u00a0 meeting with Garrett, who had been gigging with local Phoenix headliners, World
\n\u00a0 Conspiracy, in mid 2001, the two quickly hit it off and decided to follow their
\n\u00a0 dream together. The chemistry between the two was evident from the start. Garrett
\n\u00a0 brought over several demo versions of songs he was working on and allowed Ken
\n\u00a0 to inject his magic in to them. The rest, as the old clich\u00e9 says, is
\n\u00a0 history.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Shortly thereafter, Garrett and Ken started to write and record new songs together
\n\u00a0 at their respective studios. Almost immediately, they began to appreciate each
\n\u00a0 others talents and a mutual respect grew from their partnership. Garrett has
\n\u00a0 an uncanny knack for writing catchy, hook-filled songs of love, eternal optimism,
\n\u00a0 and hope. His diverse vocal range and ability to hit highs and lows with ease
\n\u00a0 rivals many of today’s success stories. A design engineer by trade, Ken delivers
\n\u00a0 his deft programming abilities to create a cohesive blueprint of the unique
\n\u00a0 Intuition sound. Using their talents, Intuition completed remixes for the popular
\n\u00a0 bands De\/Vision, Camouflage, Iris and others within the electro-pop genre. They
\n\u00a0 also licensed the dance pop infused track “Beside You” to Konami for
\n\u00a0 the X-Box game Dance, Dance Revolution, as well as their song “Words Don’t
\n\u00a0 Mean A Thing” to the movie Turn Around due out in September of 2007.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Intuition has received worldwide positive feedback and praise for past efforts.
\n\u00a0 The 2007 special edition release of Stronger, which includes several previously
\n\u00a0 unreleased remixes, on Infacted Recordings will undoubtedly secure their popularity.
\n\u00a0 Following a short Germany tour in the fall with De\/Vision, the duo will head
\n\u00a0 back to the studio to commence with work on their third LP due for release in
\n\u00a0 2008. But let me tell you about their latest album “Stronger” until
\n\u00a0 the new stuff will be pressed on CD some time next year:<\/p>\n

\u00a0 The album is mostly smooth, slow and somehow melancholic. The soft lyrics float
\n\u00a0 along with the synthesized and dreamy melodies. The album sounds a little bit
\n\u00a0 Christian because of the lyrics and the sound of it, which is not a bad thing
\n\u00a0 but more a compliment. The songs sound complete and give you a feeling of being
\n\u00a0 fulfilled, as if you don\u2019t have to worry about anything.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u201cI Scream\u201d sticks out somehow, maybe just because I remember that
\n\u00a0 they played this song live, but maybe there\u2019s something about that song,
\n\u00a0 the same is with \u201cStaring off at nothing\u201d.
\n\u00a0 \u201cBeside you\u201d reminds me of Basshunter, somehow\u2026 \u201cRemember
\n\u00a0 me\u201d would be a perfect radio song, it has a touch of a Spanish sound. Really
\n\u00a0 nice.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u201cI Scream (Spampoet remix)\u201d is not much different from the original
\n\u00a0 one, only the guitar seems to be almost completely replaced by piano, electronic
\n\u00a0 beats and sounds, at least the guitar is more in the background. \u201cTake
\n\u00a0 me away (Kregg Barentine mix)\u201d is also with more piano and has more of
\n\u00a0 the orchestra samples in it. \u201cTomorrow (Junk Circuit mix)\u201d seems to
\n\u00a0 be less electronic than the original. \u201cStaring off at nothing (Beatfreq
\n\u00a0 mix)\u201d is, as the name already says, with more and different kinds of beats
\n\u00a0 and sped up a little. All in all do the remixes not differ too much from the
\n\u00a0 originals, \u201cStaring off at nothing (Beatfreq mix)\u201d differs the most.<\/p>\n
