One of those strange winding careers in British pop and edge-of-pop
A hit-maker for others (Howard Jones, Fixx, etc) but just the one hit for himself, as bandleader of Quantum Jump
big up the drummer on this
Bassman too
"Originally released as a single in 1976, the BBC banned it due to the drug and homosexual reference. However, thanks to Kenny Everett, the song received a lot of airplay on his TV & radio shows, and was re-released in 1979."
The albums showcase something else - frantic fiddly fusion, the missing link between 10cc and Steely Dan, at times like the missing link between Level 42 and Lizzy Mercier Descloux.
Then there was this project
A virtual group, music all done by Hine, but with actors - including Julian Clary - hired to play the parts of the group members for promo video and TV appearances. Clary played Leo Hurll, the keyboardist.
