System 7 is a UK-based techno and ambient outfit formed by Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy in 1990. Both artists were previously key members of the pioneering psychedelic space rock collective Gong in the seventies, with Hillage also releasing influential solo LPs including the ambient masterpiece "Rainbow Dome Musick".

Embracing the new wave of electronic music that exploded in the UK at the end of the 80's, System 7 has become known for their dynamic collaborations with luminary artists such as Derrick May, Alex Paterson (of The Orb), Carl Craig, and Laurent Garnier. Their three decades of work have produced some of the very best electronic dance music releases.

In addition to being highly proficient programmers and mixers, System 7 stands out among ambient/techno acts for their use of guitar. Their unique blend of genres sets them apart from similar artists like The Orb, Banco De Gaia, and Ultramarine.

system 7, the psychedelic conceptual electronic music artists whose one-of-a-kind sounds have already grabbed attention globally, are back again with a highly unique and cutting-edge album inspired by the japanese 'phoenix' manga graphic novels. this music was written and arranged by the artists with the goal in mind to take its listeners through a musical time and space safari - each of these nine tracks is a progression through sound, never touching upon the same moods twice, and never finishing where it started. a video collaboration with animatrix graphic artists mu-c magic is also included on this album making it into a true multimedia masterpiece. guests on this album include eat static and jam and spoon.
