EarthsuitEarthsuit was a short-lived New Orleans-based Contemporary Christian Music band in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Earthsuit consisted of guitarist Dave Rumsey, keyboardist/vocalist Paul Meany, bassist Roy Mitchell, drummer David "Hutch" Hutchison, and vocalist Adam LaClave. Music Earthsuit only had one official release: Kaleidoscope Superior (2000). The album's 9 tracks managed to briefly gain some recognition. Only two other collections are known - a 12 song collection containing early versions of some of Kaleidoscope Superior's songs, some previously unheard songs, and a cover of Killing Me Softly. The other collection is "The Rise of Modern Simulation" which was released some time in 2003 after the band had already broken up. It was available for a short time to be purchased directly from the band's website. This collection features five original songs as well as other material including a remix of The Kaleidoscope Superior track "Against the Grain" and a song featuring samples from another of the album's tracks. It also feature a cover of the Talking Heads' "Once in a Lifetime" as well as several concert videos, available as extra content for the computer. The band broke up after constant touring through 2001. Paul Meany formed a new band by the name of Mute Math, who have a debut EP out now. Adam LaClave also formed a new band, MACROSICK, who have released a demo CD appropriately titled "demodisk". Earthsuit seemed to have genuinely appreciated music, and created music with an original compositional and arrangement style. They drew from Rapcore (they often used a melodic chorus/rap verse pattern), funk, New Orleans Jazz, and sampling. Reggae is an obvious influence from a percussive rhythmical approach, as well from the vocal style. This unique blend was virtually nonexistent elsewhere. Message Earthsuit, as a Christian band, tried to communicate a Christian message to their audience. Their lyrics often contained complicated metaphors, which made them interesting from an artistic point of view.
