Sinister Swing is the third studio album by South African recording artist Ashton Nyte, frontman for the Gothic rock band The Awakening. Described as "organic electronic / experimental"[http://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/7179351-sinister-swing-mp3-album Tradebit] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110728012504/http://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/7179351-sinister-swing-mp3-album |date=2011-07-28 }} music, the album received critical acclaim for the hybrid of pre-80's electro and the "icy echoes of isolation...and just a hint of swing." Includes South African radio hits "Distance," "Fingertips" and "Real." The album was also later performed with the University of Pretoria's theatre department as a cabaret piece.[http://www.ashtonnyte.com/ Ashton Nyte Official Site]
