During the 1980s, Brandi Ifgray led the group Shadowplay, which alternated the sound of smoky jazz with alternative punk energy. By the '90s, Ifgray was working in electronica, and his debut album Le Mutant was produced by Finnish lounge impresario Jimi Tenor. The album appeared on Finland's Sahko Records in 1997, and was licensed to American audiences through EFA. ~ John Bush
