3 | Data is an independent rock band in Southern New Hampshire.
4 | DATA is an independent synthpop band in México City, that released one original album in 2014; "Dilema EP".
5 | DATA is a British synthpopband that released three original albums; "Opera Electronica" in 1981, "2-Time" in 1983 and "Elegant Machinery" in 1985. A compilation called "Accumulator" was released in 1995 by Eternity Records containing the complete albums "2-Time" and "Elegant Machinery," and the track "Fallout" from their first album "Opera Electronica." Data was inspired by machinist and bauhaus movements and of their contemporary cabaret music of the 20s and 30s. Lyrically they were satirical for their first two albums, turning somewhat more romantic/light entertainment/dance to their last.
Frontman Georg Kajanus (originally Hultgren, of norwegian ancestry) previously played in angloscandinavian electro-rock band Eclecticon and as keyboardist/composer in the 70s rockband Sailor. In the late 90s Georg returned to Sailor for several live performances. Other members of Data were the sisters Frankie & Phil Boulter, of who only Frankie remained in the band for the last album Elegant Machinery.
The album 2-time was actually recorded just after the debut album Opera Electronica, but the release was delayed until just before Elegant Machinery was released for some reason. It is apparent when listening to the difference in the sound of the latter two and the similarities between the two first.

7 | Data The early version of the band was named TA Data, with the initials of the band's brainchild -- Tiit Aunaste -- fronting. Aunaste brought the then-high-tech world of programming into Estonian progressive rock. His partner in the project was none other than the great Igor Garšnek, the keyboard whiz of prog legends Ruja and symphonic prog great Synopsis. Ruja had split up in 1988, and Data was one of the projects Garšnek embarked upon afterwards.
The duo was augmented at times by various musicians. At times, Garšnek's former bandmate, the legendary Ruja vocalist Urmas Alender, worked with Data in providing vocals and lyrics. Another vocalist that worked with Data was Hillar Norralt, known as the "Jon Anderson of Estonia" for very good reasons. It's scary to listen to some of the stuff, as it sounds like Jon Anderson singing in Estonian! Guitarist Mihkel Raud, now with the popular rock band Mr. Lawrence[[/artist], also featured in many Data recordings. Kalle Vilpuu, another one of Estonia's most brilliant guitarists, also lends his considerable talent to many tracks.
Though Data recorded many pieces during 1988-1992, very little of it saw public release. The only release was a cassette, Kõik läheb mööda, which is one of the most sought-after items in Estonian prog for its rarity. The cassette featured some of the band's best, including the title track featuring Urmas Alender at his best. It also features the aforementioned Hillar Norralt being at his "Jon Anderson" best.
However, many of the band's other great material -- including both Alender and Norralt -- remains unreleased. Some of it, such as the four-part Christmas prog suite that was partially released in a Christmas LP Jõulu pop, is absolutely amazing. Hopefully some of this material will find a way to be released one day.
The 1989 LP release by Igor Garšnek, called Loomade Farm -- a prog oratorio on the classic George Orwell story "Animal Farm" -- also featured Data.
Though the band featured programming as a central element, this did not mean the band was confined to the studio. Data did gig, with Aunaste often taking the difficult task of playing, as well as singing. Again the duo was often augmented on stage, usually by a guitarist like Nevil Blumberg (the Synopsis partner of Garšnek).
Sadly, the project faded away in the early 1990s. Though Aunaste and Garšnek both remained active in the music scene, Data was perhaps too far ahead of its time. Technology has since improved to remove some of the "cheesy" aspects of programming that plagued the genre in the late 1980s and early 1990s. However, their material is a testament to the innovative nature of Estonians in all fields, including prog. Perhaps it would be fun for the duo to regroup and play around with the technologies of the 21st century
8 | Data is an experimental electronic group from Philadelphia consisting of Nina Ryser of Palberta (keyboards, synthesizer, bass, vocals) and Gabe Adels (guitar, vocals) with two album releases Divine Creature in 2017 and Invisible Witness in 2018 and a self titled ep in 2015

I know you wouldn't like it - it's not your thing
Here were love is only master under the moon
Joe! play that old-time music
That old Bilbao moon - I've said it often
That old Bilbao moon - he was used to Brazilian cigars
That old Bilbao moon - he never held me down
That old Bilbao moon - there! love was worth while
I'm not so sure you would have liked it there
But it was beautiful - it was so beautiful
The most beautiful - in the world
Bill's dance hall in Bilbao - Bilbao - Bilbao - the

I know you wouldn't like it - it's not your thing
Still they come here popping pistols - how about you?
Hey! are you a hero? - no!

The song "Bilbao" by Data is a nostalgic reminiscence of a man's past experiences in a dance hall in Bilbao. The lyrics are filled with a sense of longing for a time and a place that could not be replicated, as the singer addresses an unnamed person who he/she knows wouldn't like the experience. The singer describes Bill's dance hall in Bilbao as "the greatest in the world". It was a place where love reigned supreme, especially under the old Bilbao moon.
The singer emphasizes the contrasting nature of Bilbao's dance hall to the tastes of the person he/she is addressing. Although the person might not have liked the place, the singer still believes that it was beautiful, the most beautiful in the world. The singer seems to be urging the person to embrace their unique experiences, even if it's not to their liking, as there is beauty in living life to the fullest.
