ftr are an explosion of ideasâ¦.. Ranging from irresistible kitsch pop anthems through pumping dance music, chill, a bit of jungle,a tinge of opera, ambience, to scrambled electronica and DJ infected break beats and loops.

A CD came out in 1995 under the moniker âFigtree Renaissanceâ to rave reviews here and in Europe where it still enjoys TV synchronization. It featured appearances from Swedish Vocalist Carina Barbro Hagg who still appears sometimes.
