Finally catching up with some reading! Tina and I both knew The Stampeders track and she knew the Tictoc song. Although she knew it was Rough Trade, she didn’t know the song. Some fun tracks on this one Ken!!
I was noticing the same thing you say below with Pe - that Terry didn't like Rush's more synth, new-wave direction, and then worked with bands that would be considered that! But I think it was much more than not liking Rush's musical direction. I didn't know any of the artists you feature here! I don't know if that says anything about how little the producer matters in terms of success. I imagine the vast majority don't even know who the producer is for most records. Cool project, and I look forward to part 2!
Thanks, Steve! Who’s to say, I guess. But the producer as Midas is hard to find. They all have some commercial dogs, regardless of the artistic merit of the project.
I didn’t know the guy, slightly outside my usual territory, so no panic 😁. The BB Gabor track does ring a bell, though I can’t quite place where I’ve heard it before. Interesting as always, Ken!

I’d posted this Tictoc clip in a one hit wonders piece previously, thought that one would have landed for you.
It really struck me that he didn’t agree with Rush using more tech, then proceeded to produce a dance project. 🪩
haha.. indeed!
