| Ricchi e Poveri - Voulez Vous Danser - Ricchi e Poveri - 234 sec
Voulez Vous Danser - Ricchi e Poveri - maybe not the most intellectual video ever - but great fun to make. Look out for a guest appearance by Steve Fairnie (Charlie Chaplin) and the amazing dancing dog near the end - oh, and GAZEBO was the translator on the day - they spoke no English and I spoke no Italian... Ricchi e Poveri - nice memories...

| The Technos - Foreign Land - 189 sec
And so it was that Fairnie and Sage set forth into the unknown as a duo, trading as the Techno Twins (this being a good few years before the term became associated with hi-energy dance music without a chorus). The Techno Twins were aiming for across the board success through easy-on-the-ear bubblegum pop, hence the succession of cover versions they chose to record: old standards 'Can't Help Falling In Love' and 'Falling In Love Again', followed by 'Swing Together', a 3-minute medley-styled tribute to Glenn Miller, Marilyn Monroe and the whole big band genre. Nostalgia was so high on the agenda that the word even slipped into the title of the first album, 'Technostalgia'. Versatile one-man-band Dave Hewson handled production duties, as well as arranging and performing the instrumental backing.
True to form, chart success was about as likely as something really quite unlikely. The Guinness Book of Hit Singles entry for Techno Twins registers a sum total of 2 weeks of chart presence for 1982's 'Falling In Love Again' (the first week scraping into the top 75 at n°75, the second reaching the dizzy heights of n°70). 'Swing Together' did well in some European niche markets, but there was no immediate need for bodyguard presence on tour (alongside artists such as Imagination and Thompson Twins).
Record label PRT stuck by the now Twin-less Technos for 1985's highly-accomplished 'Foreign Land' album. With renowned producers Phil Harding (of PWL fame) and Anne Dudley (Ms Art of Noise) at the helm, and a number of top notch co-writers in the dug-out, the end-product was mature pop at its best. The joys of parenthood had resulted in 'Crying in the Rain', and cuts such as 'Lunatic Republic' took the duo to new heights. The title track was released as a single in the wake of the album (the track had already been released as a stand-alone single in 1983), but sank without trace.
By 1985 the Technos live experience had become a rare commodity, but when given half the chance Fairnie lapped up the opportunity to put on the kind of show that would force Madonna to spend an extra hour in the gym daily. Whether crowd-surfing à la Peter Gabriel or clambering 50ft up dodgy scaffolding to get a better view, this was the sight of someone at the peak of his powers.
After a three-year hiatus and what seemed like endless recording sessions in the States, the Technos' final album 'Songs for a Nervous World' was released by US independent label Refuge. The work was a frustrating juxtaposition of wacky Techno-craftsmanship and straight-ahead American FM rock, and left Fairnie and Sage disillusioned. Oh well. There were some nice touches though, with gems such as the visionary 'War: One Voice' and the weird but wonderful re-working of old favourite 'Mechanical Ballet', co-written seven years earlier with former sparring partner Hewson.
I love this track so much, and bought it on 7" when it was released...a very under-rated group who deserved much more success...enjoy!
