2 | Data is a d.i.y. (emotional) hardcore band from porto alegre, rs, brazil. the members consist in 1/5 of my soundtracked life and 3/5 of alba numbers. they started playing together some day in august of 2007 and are currentely probably not recording songs for a 2008 release. more info @ http://www.myspace.com/datanaorock.
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.
6 | Data is Nick Burne, a drum and bass producer from London (http://www.myspace.com/data1010)
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

Fallout
Data Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You always had the answers, on your phone-in show
It's never going to happen, or so you did say
For no one really wants it, but here we are today
With a fallout, it's a fallout
You'd better run for shelter, and put yourself in a
Fallout suit
Fallout suit
A satellite clockwork information, is going to give you
The duration
Of the fallout
So what are we going to do now, now that it's here
But listen to you talking, about the after care
Living in boxes, covered in lead
In three feet of concrete, to keep us from the dead
It's a fallout, it's a fallout
You'd better run for shelter, and put yourself in a
Fallout suit
You'd better get yourself used to, just living in a
Fallout suit
A satellite clockwork information, is going to give you
The duration
Of the fallout
In Data's song Fallout, the lyrics capture the theme of a post-apocalyptic world where a nuclear fallout has occurred, leaving everyone in a state of desperation and seeking refuge. The song begins with a question, "what are you going to do now, where are you going to go," suggesting a sense of confusion and helplessness. The next line mentions a "phone-in show", which could imply that people are reaching out for help but finding no real answers. The lyrics then declare that "it's never going to happen," although it's unclear exactly what is being referred to. But then the song takes a turn and reveals that "here we are today, with a fallout," indicating that the unthinkable has indeed happened.
The chorus of the song reiterates the need for protection from the fallout with the lyrics "you'd better run for shelter and put yourself in a fallout suit." The imagery of "living in boxes, covered in lead" and being "three feet of concrete" highlights the severity of the situation and the lengths people must go to protect themselves. The song concludes with the line "a satellite clockwork information is going to give you the duration of the fallout," which suggests that people are relying on technology to survive in this new world.
Overall, the lyrics of Fallout are a sobering reminder of the consequences of nuclear war and the devastating effects it can have on humanity. It speaks to the importance of preparation and protection in the face of catastrophic events.

Describing the technology being used to measure how long the fallout will last
So what are we going to do now, now that it's here
Asking what the group's next steps will be now that they are facing the fallout
But listen to you talking, about the after care
Noting that someone is discussing potential solutions for dealing with the aftermath of the fallout
Living in boxes, covered in lead
Describing the living situation of individuals trying to protect themselves from the fallout
In three feet of concrete, to keep us from the dead
Explaining the extreme measures being taken to ensure survival
It's a fallout, it's a fallout
Reiterating the fact that the situation is dire and consequences must be faced
