The trio have also recorded under the names Thunderground, New Adult, Sons of the Subway, and Space DJz.[1]

In his book Energy Flash, Simon Reynolds credited Bandulu as part of the "Texturology" subgenre, stating that "the best tracks on Bandulu's Guidance sounded like jazz-techno, as if Zawinul had somehow ended up band-leader of Tangerine Dream instead of Weather Report".[3]
