About Sidewinder
There are two known artists who go by the name Sidewinder:
Eric Gieseke, also known as Sidewinder and DJ Spankinspock, is a musician from Boston, USA. He started on his musical journey in the 80s by entering the tracker scene, producing modules using ProTracker for the Amiga. He had several releases through groups like Megawatts, Porphyria and InfoCorner, until he withdrew from the scene in the mid 90s. Going from techno, rave and latin-inspired breaks, to house and even a few jazzy tunes, his music comprehends a vast variety of styles and is defined as playful and melodic with a true spirit.
In March 1994 he released his debut album, Future Shock 2, a 100% Amiga recorded album produced in a professional studio during the last quarter of 1993. It also features a bonus track from the popular Amiga game, Scorched Tanks, remixed in CD quality.
After leaving the Amiga scene and going back underground, Sidewinder made a pop-up entrance by the millennium shift with the release of a second album in 1999, 2badsheep. This release featured 19 of his later recordings, making a blend of tracked modules and newly recorded tracks. And as one would expect of Sidewinder, all in a twisted variety of styles with jamming melodies.
Some of his unreleased tracks from the late 90's can be downloaded for free at his official website, www.2badsheep.com.

Sidewinder are from Canberra, Australia and released three EP's ("T Star" and "Yoko Icepick" both in 1993 and "The Gentle Art Of Spoonbending" in 1995) and two full albums (debut album "Atlantis" from 1996 and "Tangerine" in 1997).
Sidewinder managed to combine the best of the dirty sounding 60's with modern pop/rock and a just the slightest hint of psychedelica as well. On "Tangerine" they even expanded their musical style by adding modern electronic beats and computer based studio-trickery to the already very addictive mix. "Tangerine" was released in September 1997, The album received fantastic reviews and made quite a few year end top 10 lists for 1997.
The singles from this album were "Titanic Days", "Here She Comes Again", "God" and "Mummy/Daddy".
M. Craft (Martin) has gone on to have a solo career.
