 In late 1999, having previously unrealised ambitions in this area, Weeks set up a small home studio and began working on new synth-based material with Bryon Adamson and together began to develop a new sound following a full-blooded electronic approach.The first fruits of their labour surfaced at the following year’s Wave-Gotik-Treffen festival in Leipzig, where the band played a synthesiser heavy set debuting the future RBN anthem "Faithless" written by Weeks on a Novation Supernova and a Korg Trinity rack.For some, the new sound was unexpected and very positively received, although Weeks and Adamson had been increasing the use of synthesisers in unreleased material for some time.
