A major name in electronica and progressive music, Rhys Fulber's influence has been felt across the modern musical spectrum. His latest project, Conjure One, on the esteemed Nettwerk label, will certainly prove influential as well. The ACIDplanet® world of music is excited to offer "Face the Music" from Conjure One's Extraordinary Ways.

Note: this contest is only open to residents of the continental United States and Canada (except Quebec). Further, the label has requested that a one-remix entry per artist be maintained. The geographic restriction is based on legal impediments toward the release of the winning remix on vinyl & CD.

About the Band

Over the last two decades few artists have had as much impact on modern forms of music as Rhys Fulber. Best known from his work with Bill Leeb in the pioneering industrial rock outfit Front Line Assembly, Fulber has also made a significant mark in the world of electronic dance and pop music with his side projects Delerium and Conjure One, and has become one of the music industry’s hottest producers.

Born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Fulber's appreciation of music began at an early age. By the age of six, Fulber was playing the drums, and at age eleven, was already visiting recording studios and discovering punk rock and new wave artists (namely the Dead Kennedys and Pete Shelley's 1981 release, Homosapien.) Fulber was still only a teenager when he met another local like-minded musician, Austrian Bill Leeb, who initially worked under the alias of Wilhelm Schroeder on the 1984 Skinny Puppy EP, Remission, before launching groundbreaking industrial / rock outfit, Front Line Assembly. The group went on to issue countless releases on a steady basis - including such standouts as 1991's Caustic Grip, 1992's Tactical Neural Implant, and 1994's Millennium, among others). Fulber departed Front Line Assembly in 1997 to concentrate on several other side projects and record producing.

Despite leaving Front Line Assembly, Fulber and Leeb continued to collaborate on a number of projects. Most famous of all was an ambient pop side project called Delerium. The act shot to the top of the charts thanks to their 1997 global hit, “Silence," which featured vocals by Sarah McLachlan. As one half of Delerium, Rhys is no stranger to hit records, and as Conjure One (his current solo project) he has already scored a no.1 UK Club Chart placing with a package that contained remix treatments of the songs “Sleep” and “Tears From The Moon” (both included on the self- titled debut CD Conjure One). “Centre Of The Sun” also gained a Top 3 U.K. Club Chart placing.

Conjure One’s follow-up release Extraordinary Ways (Nettwerk America), sees Fulber on vocal duties for the first time in his career, delivering a unique modern take on the oft-neglected Buzzcocks classic “I Believe.” As in the past, he also calls on the talents of female vocalists, including Jane (“Endless Dream,” “One Word” and “Extraordinary Way”), Chemda ("Forever Lost"), Tiff Lacey ("Face The Music") and Joanna Stevens ("Dying Light").

In addition to his solo work as Conjure One and long-established songwriting partnership with Bill Leeb in Delerium and Front Line Assembly, the multi-talented Fulber has also been a producer-in-demand for several years. His list of credits ranges from metal outfits Fear Factory (supplying production, programming, keyboards, and arrangements to such popular albums as 1995's Demanufacture and 1998's Obsolete, among others) Megadeth, Mudvayne and Paradise Lost to AOR pop acts Sarah Brightman and Josh Groban.
