A pair of New Wave brothers find refuge in ambient designs Ultravox, Magazine and Cowboys International were bands from the New Wave and it happens that these bands had a then very young guitarist named Robin Simon and his brother Paul as members. Robin meted out slash & burn guitar and Paul pounded the drums. That was 25 years ago. Now Robin and Paul Simon work as AjantaMusic, playing a melodic brand of instrumental ethno-ambient music. In their London home, AjantaMusic talk about their trail from London to Ibiza and beyond.
