Kirk, Uwe Schmidt and Vince Clarke. AkA music is artificial, snappy, electronic and metronomic. Almost 15 years after its inception and more than 50 tracks, AkA philosophy remains the intact : to be a skin (hence the name "AkA" for Also Known As) for Henri to play with music and create, freed from day light life. AkA's album Proton MX (EP) is out on Cinoci Records (free download), and released "Metal In My Body" on Cinoci Records "Broadcast" Compilation on iTunes. Recent tracks include "CounterPoint", "'Gotta Go to Vegas" and "Mandibular". 2) AKA is an Indonesian 70's hard rock band, fronted by Ucok AKA. The band is no longer existed but Ucok is still touring with his solo work. Afro-powered heavy distortion meets mathematic funky beats in a strange prog rock vibe. Biography in Bahasa Indonesia : Grup musik rock AKA (singkatan dari Apotik Kali Asin, apotek milik orang tua Ucok Harahap, tempat mereka bermarkas dan latihan) dibentuk di Surabaya pada 23 Mei 1967 dengan formasi awal: Ucok Harahap (keyboard/vokal utama), Syech Abidin (drum/vokal), Soenata Tanjung (guitar utama/vokal), Harris Sormin (guitar/vocal) dan Peter Wass (bass). Peter Wass digantikan oleh Lexy Rumagit karena cedera ketika granat yang disiapkan untuk aksi panggung grup rock Ogle Eyes di Lumajang tiba-tiba meledak dan melukainya. Sejak 1969, Lexy Rumagit digantikan oleh Arthur Kaunang. Yang patut dicatat, semua pemain bass AKA adalah pemain kidal.

Pada album pertama mereka, Do What You Like (1970), terdapat lima lagu berbahasa Indonesia dan tiga lagu berbahasa Inggris (Do What You Like, I've Gotta Work It Out, dan Glenmore).
