  Eleven
When discussing music with Eleven's Alain Johannes and Natasha Shneider, the conversation invariably turns to "The Twist Factor" - the group's term for describing unexpected tangents found in all genres of music which challenge and ensnare listeners.
Shneider and Johannes also offer special praise to Dan Bosworth, who engineered the THUNK sessions (which stretched from November 1994 to February 1995 in Los Angeles) and successfully captured the group's creative outbursts.
And long before "co-ed rock" became the music industry's hottest buzz phrase, she and Johannes had formed an egalitarian partnership more as a result of kismet rather than a desire to pioneer sweeping musical trends.

You may recognize keyboardist/vocalist Natashia Schneider and guitarist Alain Johannes as being from former Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell's new band.
Johannes pushes his playing to the brink of scrawl without ever compromising the integrity of these songs, blending punk chording with Robert Fripp-like shimmering, explosive clusters of tones with chiming harmonized leads and filthy distortion -- and laying down some of the best acoustic-guitar slam 'n' burn since Pete Townshend.
Schneider and Johannes are both strong lead singers who switch from tune to tune.

Background I didn’t realize (and I have three of their four records - and I sell almost everything after a year, trying to keep my private collection to a mere wall of my house): guitarist Alain Johannes was in L.A.’s What is This with Hillel Slovak, Jack Irons, and Flea.
Johannes met the striking, classically-trained Russian prodigy, Natasha Shneider, and they renamed themselves Walk the Moon and cut a record for MCA.
Johannes and Shneider then built a studio in their house, dubbed 11AD, and ex-Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell soon called upon the band to record/produce his solo effort, Euphoria Morning.

 REVIEW
The fact that Alain Johannes (guitar, vocals) and Natasha Shneider (keyboards, vocals) consider Western music, "particularly pop" inflexible and confining, prompted them to explore a vast array of stylistic avenues, thus opening the door to different musical possibilities.
By fusing their interests in Eastern music; Indian, Pakistani and Bulgarian music with rock, pop, punk, classical and gothic music, the band has hewn for themselves a sound that is dynamic, colorfully textured; always eclectic and always interesting.
When Cornell hit the road in the fall of 1999 for a string of shows in the U.S. and Europe, it was Johannes, Shneider and Eleven skinman Greg Upchurch who not only opened for Cornell but formed the core of his own touring band.

Guitarist Alain Johannes played in a proto-Red Hot Chili Peppers and along with partner Natasha Shneider, provided extra musical muscle for Soundgarden/Audioslave singer Chris Cornell's solo album, Euphoria Morning.
Influences seem to range from the Beatles - as a guitarist, Johannes does an uncannily accurate George Harrison impression - to Schubert and Bach.
Johannes is at his best when he's grinding out riffs and spinning elegant guitar textures; the swampy intro to You're My Diamond flows like melted chocolate and when he remembers to relax, he's a sensual pleasure.

Despite the fact that Johannes sings on the opening track, "Dead in Love," the song's searing guitars and insistent grind make it a potential QOTSA track.
The collection's more experimental moments vary in quality, ranging from the loose, fun faux soul of "I Wanna Make It Wit Chu" and the thrashy workout of "Covered in Punks Blood" to "I'm Here for Your Daughter" and "Shepherd's Pie," both of which were probably more fun to make than they are to hear.
