Function is the communally based, shape shifting brainchild of Australian native & general globe-trotting nomad Matt Nicholson. The Secret Miracle Fountain is a lush & transcendental rock album recorded & produced in over ten cities worldwide -- from Sinai, Egypt to Brooklyn, New York; Kyoto, Japan to Venice, Italy -- over a 3 year period with the participation of close to 3 dozen friends & musicians. It goes without saying that there is nothing small about the scale or scope of The Secret Miracle Fountain. It's a remarkable introduction to the world at large of a mesmerizing rock album that proves every bit worth the 4 years it took to complete it. The Secret Miracle Fountain marks the band's first stateside album after a couple lathe cut records, cassettes & smallish CD releases. Featured artists include Chris Smith (Fat Cat, Emperor Jones), Stuart Dempster (New Albion), and lakshmi shankar & subash chandran, Indian music masters of voice and percussion.
