Baby's On Fire

United Kingdom, UNITED KINGDOM, Mon 01 Aug 2005, 00:00 GMT
Released officially worldwide on 22nd August on Pure Mint - one of the freshest labels of the 21st century - T-Total featuring guest vocals from world renowned Soft Cell vocalist, Marc Almond, have set temperatures soaring with the release of their fantastic version of the seventies Brian Eno classic "Baby's On Fire".

Be sure to check out the marvellous flip side, the electro stomping "Take Me Away" and the Baby's On Fire video by The Photon Shepherds - More sequin and feathers than Roxy and Eno combined! Glam is definitely back. 'The video performance was just a little uncomfortable as I'm still recovering from the injuries of my recent accident, but I had so much fun it didn't matter. Its great when DJing at clubs to see the reaction as it fills the dancefloor. I knew I could count on Tim and Robert for a glamour fix.' Marc said.

'It was a chance to indulge myself in my teenage Glam years. The first two Roxy Music albums and "Here Come The Warm Jets", Eno's first solo album had been inspirational and had made an indelible impression on a spotty seventies youth. It was a chance to pay tribute and have some fun. It was also a chance to work with two legends of London's underground electro scene. T-Total had been producing some of the best tracks around and as an occasional DJ they were always on my playlist', Marc commented.

Tasty Tim said, 'There was never any doubt that Marc was the right man for the job. Before Marc even said yes, I was sewing feathers to a shoulder pad for an imagined video tribute to Brian Eno! Our first day together in the studio, we spent more time talking about eyeliner than actually recording any vocals, so we made a future date to finish up...that sadly turned out to be months down the line as 3 days later Marc was in a coma after an horrific motorbike accident. Fast forward to a miraculous recovery...Marc turns in a fabulous vocal and we re-tweak the production, taking it from club thumper to potential "poptastic" crossover.'

T-Total feat. Marc Almond "Baby's On Fire" will be exclusively available for download on Apple's iTunes from 9th August for two weeks, and then generally available on other download sites and all other formats from 22nd August 2005.
