S3E12 with Trevor Horn

We are back with one of the most amazing guests we have ever had. Our guest today has made an astounding impact on the music industry. He wrote the first song to appear on MTV (the prophetic 'Video killed the radio star'). He founded seminal label Zang Tumb Tumb who signed Properganda, 808 State and Frankie Goes To Hollywood. He pioneered the use of the sampler in pop music thanks to his early adoption of the Fairlight Synthesizer, and created the gold standard for 12 inch singles with a blizzard of groundbreaking remixes for The Art Of Noise, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Grace Jones. He has worked with Yes, Pet Shop Boys, Seal, Dollar, ABC, Mike Oldfield, Malcom Mclaren, Mark Almond and a dizzying host of other household names. We are of course talking about the production genius that is Mr. Trevor Horn. Wow.Please note there is some minor distortion on the feed from Trevor. EXTRA SPECIAL thanks to Tom Colvin for saving the audio at the last minute.Before all that Deb puts herself back in the dating game (form an orderly queue listeners). Eamon wisely stays indoors and curls up with a nice (audio) book.We really hope you enjoy the show, tell the world about us and we will drink to your good health.LIKE - SHARE - SUBSCRIBE - REVIEW!
