Goteki (/ɡɒˈtɛkiː/ got-TEK-ee) are a British electro band with roots in the UK EBM and industrial scenes, the musical brainchild of composer Ross Tregenza (a.k.a. "Sneaky"). They were heavily involved in the development of UK ebm and cybergoth genres circa 2000-2003, and now reformed as a three piece live act expanded from Tregenza's solo studio creations. They refer to their new musical style as 'death electro': a mix of alternative electro pop and industrial combined with influences from film and video game scores.
Goteki's surprise reformation in August 2008 saw them return as a two-piece (Ross Tregenza and Alastair Power, performing under the names of Tregenza and Ali-Star). They were re-joined in 2009 by Clive 'Crash' Lewis. They returned with a more mature sound, but with recognizable qualities from their older material.
The group was formed after Sneaky's former band, Sneaky Bat Machine, ended. The group took their name from one of the teams in the PlayStation game Wip3out (eventually securing Sony's blessing to use the name).
LED clock flashing in the corner of my eye
I want to mass produce myself before I die
And each man kills the thing that he loves
Say hallelujah say you've had enough
And I don't know why and I don't know when
We'll have to fight the saucermen
Micronano baby, do you want to be free?
Keep your target swinging you're digital to me
And each man kills the thing that he loves
Say hallelujah say you've had enough
UFOs on skypaths every fallen night
Apes will curling fingers spoiling for a fight
Lights are tracing stormclouds
Lasers touch the stars
