Maybe I'm bein stupid, but I'm not sure how Synchestra is pronounced. I'm guessing it's supposed to rhyme with Orchestra??

Yes, with the emphasis on the 'est': sink-EST-rah

What does it mean BTW ?
It's a mix between synchronisation and orchestra ?
Is there a specific meaning ?
Maybe that the guys are now "synchronised" as a band or something ? ^_^

If I had a guess, it's just a cool sounding word. That's if you use the same rationale as Devy's lyrics. (not taking things too seriously etc)

I asked my "local" (only about 30 minutes by bike...) if they would be getting Synchestra. No matter how I pronounced it, the guy didn't get it anyway. I had to spell it out for him and he still missed it.
Ergo: Cool title!!
