11- What’s the name of your band? What’s the origin of that name? Have you changed the band’s name before?

THE NAME COMES FROM THE WORDS SELECTION(SELECTOR)AS I TOLD I STARTED AS DJ C-LEKKTOR,THAT ITS EXACTLY THAT A DJ DOES SELECT THE SONG

THAT WILL PLAY IN A SET,SO I TO KEEP THIS NAME FOR THE BAND,,IN A WAY IS CATCHY NAME AND NOT USUAL

12- "refusing the paradise" and "clone and mutate" and "the silence procession" where did the concept come from? and whats planned now that your album is finished? or anything else you're working on? Tell me why this title,"refusing the paradise" and "clone and mutate" and "the silence procession" Tell us a few words about the concept of this?

WELL IN THE CASE OF CLONED AND MUTATED THE NAME MAKE REFERENCE ABOUT THE REMIX WORK ON IT,MOSTLY OF THE SONG ARE REMIXES WE DID,OR REMIXES THAT SOME BANDS DID FOR US IS NOT SO COMPLICATED THE SONGS WERE CLONED AND MUTATED,FOR REFUSING THE PARADISE THIS SONG IS A PROTEST AGAIN OUR LIFESTYLE,THE WAY WE LIVE EVERY DAY FEARING AN DIVINE PUNISHMENT FOR OUR BAD ACTIONS,I DECIDE LIVE MY OWN LIFE WITHOUT FEAR AND WITHOUT WAIT THE PROMISE LAND OR HEAVEN OR THAT KIND OF STUFF THATS WHY I REFUSE THE PARADISE AND FOR THE SILENCE PROCESSION HAS A LOT OF MEANING FOR US CAUSE THIS IS OUR FIRTS OFICIAL CD AND IN A WAY IS THE END OF THE SILENCE FOR OUR MUSIC CAUSE THIS CD GAVE US THE

I GUESS ELECTRO OR EBM

22-Since the music industry is more open now to purely electronic music has this made things easier for you?

IN FACT THINGS ARE NOT EASY,TRY TO KEEP MAKING MUSIC DEPENDS FROM A LOT OF THINGS LIKE TIME AND MONEY AND HERE IN MEXICO THE ECONOMIC SITUATION IS HARD,WE JUST HAVE TIME TO WORK FOR LIVING AND TO HAVE A BAND REQUIRES INVERT SOME MONEY ON EQUIPMENT,,SO ON THIS POINT IS HARD FOR THE OTHER SIDE THE QUESTION TO GET A LABEL WHERE YOU CAN RELEASE YOUR MUSIC AND BESIDES EVERY DAY APEARS A LOT OF BANDS THIS MAKES ALL COMPLICATED,ALL THIS WITH THE PIRACY AND THE LOW SALES OF CDS MAKES ALL THIS REALLY HARD,WE JUST TRY TO KEEP DOING MUSIC FOR OUR PLEASURE BUT WE ARE NOT SURE HOW LONG WE CAN DO IT ON THIS CONDITIONS
