A one-man tribute to Depeche Mode, complete with two new instrumental interludes. Eleven of their most underappreciated songs reinvented, plus "Ponytail Girl", the Color Theory original that the world mistook for DM.

"We give it the thumbs up and warmly recommend that all Mode fans pick this one up." Depeche-Mode.com

The instrumentation of Something Beautiful falls somewhere between a rock band and a Broadway musical: piano, vocals, fretless bass, drums (courtesy of the legendary Jonathan Moffett), string quartet, vibraphone, flute, and harp.

"Something Beautiful is, in fact, something beautiful. It's great music for a romantic dinner; would probably make great soundtrack music, and is just a pleasure to listen to." Joseph Kyle, Mundane Sounds

"Something Beautiful shows that Color Theory has reached a new and higher stage." Jacco Stijkel, Euphrodita's Empire

“There’s no need to shelter myself from you.” The last line of “Wishing I Had an Umbrella” impeccably reflects Brian’s songwriting philosophy: cultivate a personal, intimate, one-on-one relationship with the listener. Life’s Fairytale explores his electronic tendencies with eight new originals, two covers and five remixes of songs from previous albums.

"Just to let you know, this is the most played record at my place apart from Depeche Mode's Exciter." Side-Line Magazine, #36 Jul/Aug/Sep 2001

"The one-man band’s lyrical smarts are a nice bonus and prove his conviction that songwriting is as vital as sound. All the better, then, that he has both bases covered." Performing Songwriter, December 2001

Perfect Tears is so intimate that it was promoted through a series of personal ads. The album was in regular rotation at over 40 European commercial radio stations. Brian considers Perfect Tears his best work to date – the culmination of the “electronic piano pop” sound he worked six years to refine.

"This is an album I don't just recommend for fans of synthpop, but for all fans of good, meaningful music." Lexicon Magazine, #13 1999

"Perfect Tears reveals a very mature songwriter who enjoys creating warm and delicate music for tender hearts." Side-Line Magazine, #35 Apr/May/Jun 2001

A passionate blend of piano, electronics, and lyrical sincerity. Includes "The Perfect Song,” first performed by Brian as a proposal to now-wife Michelle. It wasn't until fledgling label A Different Drum included "Heart Like a Doll" on its first release, Rise! America's Synthpop Underground, that Color Theory was exposed to the small but dedicated modern synthpop scene.

"No less than brilliant. This album, along with their first, is a must for anyone who loves beautiful piano-based music." David Nelson, OING, October 1997

"An excellent second album. Definitely breaks the sophomore album curse." Jason Baker, Synthpop.net

Sketches in Grey was reissued in 1999, after the original pressing quickly sold out. It was completely remastered and seven new tracks were added, including the only live performance recordings of Color Theory ever to be released.

"Do yourself a favor, and buy this album immediately." Nevada Weekly, June 1994

"Simply blows the original away. In case you can't tell, I highly recommend this re-issue." Jason Baker, Synthpop.net
