TUNER: Pole (2007, Unsung Records)

'So High' and 'Down Below' co-written by Markus Reuter & Lee Fletcher.

Vocal arrangements and mixing on these titles by Lee Fletcher, with vocals performed by Lisa Fletcher.

"...Also intriguing are Lisa Fletcher's contributions on 'So High' and 'Down Below', as she harmonizes above a pair of discordant piano segues, her voice(s) dreamily dropping like an angelic choir falling upon a bed of clouds..."

"...joined by the lovely and amazing Pamella Kurstin, Lisa Fletcher and Laura Scarborough on various tracks, the Reuter/Mastelotto axis of awe works best on the title cut, 'So High', 'Dig' and 'Repulsive and Delicious'..."

"...'So High' and 'Down Below' are two short tracks with a fractured piano melody and vocals from Lisa Fletcher, a British vocalist. There are quite a few tracks with excellent female vocalists on here..."

"...a lot of the guest singers are female and are used in very unconventional ways. Their vocal performances are just disturbing at times..."

Richie Nieto: Giant Robots & Sunsets (2007)

'The Hill Of Holes' co-written by Richie Nieto & Lee Fletcher. This piece was produced, arranged & mixed by Lee Fletcher, with vocals performed by Lisa Fletcher. Lee also contributed additional keyboards & programming.

- - -

"...'The Hill Of Holes' is one the best songs on Richie's album. This song was remixed and produced by Lee Fletcher [halo], but not only that, Warr guitar was played by Markus Reuter (Tuner / CENTROZOON)..."

Quote from a feature by The Prog Files

CENTROZOON: The Scent Of Crash & Burn (2003, Burning Shed Records)

Album co-produced & mixed by Lee Fletcher. Lee also contributes additional arrangements throughout, plus drum programming on 'Make Me Forget'.

- - -

"CENTROZOON represents the accumulated talents of singer Tim Bowness together with German duo Markus Reuter and Bernhard Wösteinrich. The trio does a fine job navigating around sophisticated dance tracks such as the EP’s remixed opening cut, 'Ten Versions Of America' where a persistent bass drives a techno-like tempo. 'Make Me Forget' comes down on the ominous side of the house with a dream state washing behind Bowness' passionate lyric. Reuter's raucous lead melody soars over the sampled drums that skip across the song making the piece the best in the set recalling Sylvian and Fripp’s brief encounters ten years ago. 'The Me I Knew' is a bit more introspective with is serene use of synthesizers with electric piano accompaniment and swelling background feedback. The title track of the EP is even more nebulous in its deliver where Bowness reminds me of mid-period Bowie with his pressing lead vocal. Considering that these five pieces were the precursor to an entire album of pieces, this set stands solidly on its own merits as a hybrid pop refinement that will appeal to fans of Japan as well as King Crimson."
