Please could you tell me
all the groups Trevor Horn has produced? Also I’d like to know
something about his record company Zang Tuum Tumb?
Brian Henrico Almazan, St. Albans.
Trevor’s produced (deep breath)
Buggles, Dollar, Spandau Ballet, Foreigner, Yes, Malcolm McLaren, The
Art Of Noise, Propaganda and, last but not least, Frankie Goes To
Hollywood. The last three, of course, are all signed to Zang Tuum Tumb
of which he’s a director along with his wife Jill Sinclair and ex-music
writer Paul Morley. According to an official ZTT memo, “officially, or
at least apparently, ZTT have released five records in the UK: three on
its original Action Series and two on its Derivative Incidental Series”.
It goes on to explain that “ZTT’s business is The Puzzle not the
explanation. This may be more to do with laziness than obstinacy: who
knows?” More to the point, who cares? The label’s catchphrases include
‘Be Happy Or Die’, ‘Why Should We Lie?’, ‘Everything Of Intensest
Significance’ and ‘Blessed Are The Noisemakers’ and we have grounds to
believe that everyone involved in the venture is either partly or
completely bonkers.
