Free new song for Ada Lovelace Day
March 25th is Ada Lovelace Day. We are currently working on the 3rd full-length album for The Crystalline Effect and have just written a song about Ada Lovelace. When we found out that it was Ada Lovelace day, it felt like more than a coincidence. So to celebrate the occasion we have decided to upload our song as a free download!

From singer/lyricist Elenor Rayner:
"In the mid 1800s Charles Babbage invented the first programmable calculating machine, called the Analytical Engine. He could see it could be used to make mathematical calculations. A useful device indeed, and it became the forerunner of the computer. His good friend Ada Lovelace, also a mathematician and scientist and daughter of the poet Lord Byron, understood his machine - but she could see something he couldn't. She suggested to Charles that his Analytical Engine could be used to compose complex music and so she wrote a program for it and became the first person ever to write music on a computer. I think all of us owe her big time.

I have a framed photo of Ada sitting next to my computer and when I heard the electro leanings of a new track Pete had sent me for TCE, I thought it would be a perfect homage to her. I loved recording those vocals with her watching me."

Review by Fiend Magazine
"Identity is a collection of truly beautiful and intelligent music, songs that can transport the listener and touch the soul in ways few bands today can. If you care in the slightest about electronic music, especially with great vocals, then you owe it to yourself to check out this criminally underrated band. 5/5 Stars"
