FULLY FUNCTIONAL's 12 tracks range in intensity from fast and furious to slow time-bending laments, all with a flair for the exotic.

A certain quality that they feel is their common bond intertwines throughout every track, dynamically from the fast and furious themes to the soft and erotic laments, this exotic-like sound rings within. You may find it interesting that Fully Functional is a "live in the studio" project - all tracks were recorded during live rehearsals and jams during 2005. Other than some pre-mastering editing, which was kept to a minimum, mostly at the beginnings and endings of the tracks, these tracks are totally live, no overdubs.
