Technique - Can we try again

Technique

The period of 1979 - 1980 for David Byron and Daniel Boone continued with further experiments as the third and final attempt was made cash in on the current music popular in the late 70s. This particular project is pure disco or dance music and it would seem Daniel Boone was the main one who should be credited for most of the music. Due to contractual reasons David continued to use the name Mark Oxford like the two proceeding projects. Where the name came from however is a mystery but an attempt to find that information is being made. It appears that the musicians in question learned how to masquerade under different names from all the previous session work from their perspective careers. They called upon a name from a decade past in Alan Caddy [former guitarist with the Tornadoes and the main session musician behind the Avenue Records material]. Alan also remixed some of the material in Canada at Thunder Sound Studios as well.

Originally the first release of any known work from these sessions was the single "Michael Angelo" which was released with the spelling as "Teknique". A picture sleeve single [pictured below] featured a photo of David and Daniel along with their wives Gaby and Lelly; who also did backing vocals on the work. This was an extension of the Warlord and Intergalactic Orchestra projects as Muff Murfin again contributes backing vocals, production and other studio credits. The first releases were done in Canada, Benelux, Germany and the UK and later on 1983 remixes were released in Holland and the US. Other extended version remixes also were released on maxi singles. Without any acclaim to the voice found on this work, no mention has ever came up on any David or Uriah Heep related link that this was a David Byron documented piece of work.

Adding this to your collection would be an expensive endeavor as these records are extremely hard to find. The name Technique has been used multiple times by other artists so that also can confuse the search and the same logo for the name was used as well in the mid 80s but no clue ties that project into this one. One last note, the song Looking For Someone to Love (Tonight) was covered on a single released in the UK by Quartzlock in 1988.

This and 'Trippin' on the Moon' had to be my all time favorite disco hits of the '70s/'80s, etc. I went bazooy when I heard this song on the dancefloor at the Saint and still go wacky when I hear it. The driving beat, the beautiful voices and the overall orchestral concept---just amazing!! Thanks for posting this song!
