Toronto, Canada (1995 – present)
Do Make Say Think is an instrumental group from Toronto, Ontario. The band formed in the 1990s (1995) by Charles Spearin as a recording project for his sound engineering classes in college. Their first rehearsals took place in an empty schoolroom where four basic verbs — Do, Make, Say and Think — adorned the walls. The group subsequently adopted the words as a name. Their music combines jazz-style drums with electric bass, synthesizers, electric guitars, wind instruments, and electronic effects.
Do Make Say Think consists of Ohad Benchetrit (guitar, bass, saxophone and flute), David Mitchell (drums), James Payment (drums), Justin Small (guitar) and Charles Spearin (bass, guitar and trumpet). Jason Mackenzie (keyboards and effects) departed after the first album. Justin Small is also involved in a side project entitled Lullabye Arkestra, as a drummer with his partner, bassist Katia Taylor. They have been produced by Benchetrit, who — along with Spearin — records and tours with the Toronto supergroup Broken Social Scene.
Do Make Say Think are routinely joined onstage by Brian Cram, who performs with James Payment in a metal band called Gesundheit.
Spearin, Mitchell and Benchetrit recorded an album together in 1997 under the moniker Microgroove.
The songChinatown from 2002’s & Yet & Yet is featured in the movie Syriana, starring George Clooney, as well as The Corporation.

@johnymous: The true tracklisting for Besides is the one listed at discogs & wikipedia. 1. I Love You (La La La) 2. Bobby Zincone 3. Our Man in Havana 4. A Week in the Dark. Three of those are among the B-sides/Unreleased tracks on their website, but under different titles. So I would say, find a rip of the true Besides vinyl release if you don't have one already, compare songs so you don't duplicate, and then just add the rest. If you need the track names for the stuff off the site, you can PM me, because I know that they're incorrect when downloaded. Lastly, I would suggest adding Crystal and Easing from the demo cassette to complete your old school DMST album.

Besides confuses me... so many different tracklists, I want to consolidate them all along with the unreleased tracks on their website into an entire album.
