-'''luna spark''' (always spelt in all lower or all upper case) was an indietronic group/solo project originally based in Hamilton, New Zealand. The 'group' was formed in late 2000 by [[Dan Duran]], going under the pseudonym [[tracey exenola]] (once again, always lower/upper case).<br>
-The project grew out of a previous group called [[Planet Claire]] with [[R William Murphy|rop movie]] and Scott Howard (later of [[the Natalies]]). They only played only one gig, at the [[UFM]] [[Battle of the Bands]] in 2000, and broke up on its completion. The group's sound was unique to the competition, utilising a drum machine and no live drummer or bass player. Later that year, still without a band, using a similar setup, the recordings that would become the first luna spark EP began to take form.<br>
-[[image:Pc021.jpg|left|thumb|Flyer handed out at the only Planet Claire gig, 2000]]
-luna spark's first recording, an EP called ''[[Sarah]]'', came out in early 2001. Some basic mastering had been provided by Fran from the group [[Tweeter]], who was living in the same building at the time.
-luna spark's second EP, ''[[Media]]'', came out in May 2002. Two others appeared on this release, [[R William Murphy|rop movie]] and the 'Catatonic Spacette'. The six track EP spawned a minor local radio 'hit' in ''Over the Rainbow'', a quirky and offbeat rendition of the Wizard of Oz classic (complete with a rap from [[R William Murphy|rop movie]]), which eventually found its way onto the [[Zeropointone]] compilation CD.<br>
-[[image:Danx.jpg|right|thumb|Dan Duran c.2003]]
-luna spark's debut full length album ''[[Panic]]'' followed in July 2003; it featured a re-recorded version of ''[[Media]]'s'' ''Moving Target'' and songs previously played live such as ''Still'' and ''129 Die'', expanding on the sound developed over the initial EPs. [[R William Murphy|rop movie]] played guitar on ''129 Die'', a song he and [[Dan Duran]] had originally written way back in 1997. <br>
-The next luna spark move would be the album ''[[Simcerity]]'', released in October 2004. A dramatic shift from the previous releases, ''[[Simcerity]]'' was covered in acoustic guitars and live keyboards, and half the album was sung by [[Roz Case|Roz]], who also contributed musically to a couple of the tracks (most notably ''Get Off Of My Case''). The standout track from the album, ''Sleepless'', received airplay on the [[Generator]] and several podcasts, and even a spot on a tsunami charity album, [[Reconstruction]]. Electro-punk-noise band [[the Clerics]] covered it at the first annual [[Circle Jerk]] in 2005. ''Repair'' and ''Get Off Of My Case'' also got some airplay locally.<br>
-[[image:C2m.gif|right|thumb|Countdown To Meltdown - 2006]]
-Next, the album ''[[Countdown To Meltdown]]'' was written and recorded, inside three weeks, as part of the [http://fawm.org February Album Writing Month], and released in March 2006.<br>
-In February 2007, the albums ''[[The Siren]]'' and ''[[Trigger Happy Little Finger]]'' were released simultaneously. [[Roz Case|lulu]] returned to do vocals on the largely acoustic ''Trigger...'', while ''The Siren'', two years in the making, was an indietronic concept album detailing the story of a young boy who found success in the political arena as a result of his technological enhancements.<br>
-July of the same year saw ''[[Scud Of Freedom]]'',  a loud, shiny 'rock' oriented album layered in guitars and lasting just under half an hour. The Waikato Times gave the album 3 1/2 stars, commenting "synth and drum programming are mixed brilliantly with ferociously driven guitars".
-To date there have only been three live luna spark performances - one at the [[Band Experiments]] in mid 2002, one at [[Soundproof]] in late 2002 (a show which included a cover of the Talking Heads' ''Road To Nowhere'', and the [[Circle Jerk]] 2006 (performing songs by [[Stadium]] and [[Rose Petals and Confetti]]).<br>
-In early 2008 luna spark began releasing re-recordings of the ''[[Panic]]'' tracks, one song per month, beginning with ''Spin, Crash & Burn''. Four tracks were released before a robbery left Dan without the complex musical notation that was the backbone of the next track due, 'Patterns'. As a result, the re-recording project was canned, and a short EP of largely acoustic material, ''[[Steady State EP]]'', was released instead.
-In March 2009 Dan retired the luna spark moniker, saying he wanted to give his new material (recorded under the alias [[Radio Over Moscow]]) a fresh, baggage-free start. A [[luna spark - The Best Of 2001-2008|best of]] collection was prepared and released via zip file and torrent.
