System 7 take their unique and personalized psychedelic techno style to a new and higher level on their album PHOENIX to be released in the UK on January 28th 2008.System 7s new project is inspired by the manga graphic novel series Phoenix by Tezuka Osamu - one of the founding fathers of Japanese manga culture. The project grew from a meeting a few years ago between System 7s Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy and Tezukas daughter Rumiko Tezuka who has her own techno label Music Robita in Japan. Rumiko suggested that System 7s sound would fit perfectly with her fathers Phoenix stories and his universal message. The resulting album release is a collaboration between Music Robita and System 7s own label A-Wave.
