Ewan MacFarlane

Harry K (Also on Raw Power)

Cliff Hewitt (The drummer on Krupa - I therefore think he's a genius)

UPDATE March 98

Apollo 440 feature on the soundtrack to the new film, Lost In Space, so go get buy it as soon as it's released...! Fatboy Slim's on there too, along with the TWO @440 tracks.

UPDATE April 98

Apollo 440 also feature on a re-released version of the soundtrack for SPAWN.

UPDATE May 98 (1)

Apollo 440's next single is from the Lost In Space soundtrack (See March). Jason Nevins - the bloke who remixed Run DMC's It's Like That - has also remixed the new single (Due out in June). However this time, Apollo 440 tell me, he made more than the measly 3000 quid which Run DMC paid him after making them over a million.

UPDATE May 98 (2)

Apollo 440 have "updated and re-recorded", with Jean Michel Jarre, Rendezvous 98, and will be released June 8 in the UK. Oxgene 7-13 has also been remixed by Apollo 440 (among others).

UPDATE May 98 (3)

I received a postcard this morning which says that Rendezvous '98 is actually released on Monday (May 11th) in the UK. The music is the theme for the ITV's World Cup '98 coverage, and the enhanced multimedia CD features a piece of software offering users complete freedom to create individual unique images to the music - full review will be on-line from the day it's released.

UPDATE May 98 (4)

Well, it appears that Rendezvous 98 is probably not released in UK for quite a while yet, though it's already been released in many European countries. It is going to be used for both ITV and Eurosport's World Cup coverage.

This Is Not A Dream, the track on the Special Edition SPAWN soundtrack is not going to be on their new album (Due later this year)

UPDATE May 98 (5)

Apollo 440's Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Dub was played to at least 100 million listeners yesterday (Sat 9th) at the 43rd annual Eurovision Song Contest. Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Dub was used to represent Britain in one of the links between songs. Manic Street Preachers' Design For Life was used in another link, though it was difficult to tell if it was the original version or the much better Stealth Sonic Orchestra remix (used to open all the Manics' live sets). Israel won the competition (Live form Birmingham, England), with UK's Imanii - Where Are You coming second. The Manic Street Preachers' new album is due to be released in September. Apollo 440 have produced some of the tracks.

UPDATE June 98 (1)

Maximum Roach is a band currently doing the rounds in London and elsewhere and features Noko, Mary Mary, Harry K, Kodish and a bass player called Kev. It's kinda surf-jungle. It's cool and every title has roach in it - Slow Roach to Cairo etc.

UPDATE June 98 (2)

James Dean Bradfield has told friends that he wanted a Simple Minds circa The American feel for some of the tracks on the as-yet untitled new album. For that, they enlisted Apollo 440's Howard Gray to produce some of the tracks. The album is set for release on September 7th 1998 in the UK

UPDATE June 98 (3)

Apollo 440 have done two remixes of Puff Daddy's Come With Me, from the Godzilla Soundtrack. Talking of films, Raw Power, the massive hit single from last year, which was top ten in loads of countries across Europe, was featured on the MTV Film awards 1998, as was White Town's Your Woman, Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up and Chemical Brothers' Block Rockin' Beats. Don't forget to watch the ITV and Eurosport coverage of the World cup featuring the Apollo 440 & Jean Michelle Jarre collaboration Rendezvous 98. Apollo 440 are massive football fans, and will be supporting England no doubt in the football tournament which starts tomorrow (June 10). In the English league they support Liverpool FC - in 1996 they had a top ten hit with the single Pass & Move for Liverpool, under the name The Boot Room Boys.

UPDATE June 98 (4)

Well, you wait ages and ages for an apollo 440 related release, then 3 come along at once (well in two weeks, with another soon after, no doubt. So, on Monday the Maximum Roach remix of Asiandubfoundation's Black/White was released, then next Monday (29th) both the @440/Jean Michel Jarre Collaboration Rendezvous 98 and the new apollofourforty single Lost In Space is released featuring the Jason Nevins remix, plus remixes of Krupa, Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Dub and Raw Power. It doesn't get any better than this. Also, in the near future, the Puff Daddy single, Come With Me, featuring the @440 remixes, is released (It's already out in Germany).

UPDATE June 98 (5)

Direct from Apollo 440 themselves: Actually only RV98 is released on Monday - LIS is out on 27th July. It features mixes of LIS by Jason Nevins, DJ Cam and LionRock, as well as 2 different versions of Will & Penny on 2 CDs. Sorry there are no mixes of Krupa etc.

UPDATE June 98 (6)

Apollo 440 talk exclusively to me about England's performance against Romania last Monday (25th) - "We at Liverpool (A top English football club which @440 support) know what Michael (Owen - a brilliant football player who's 18 and scored the only goal against Romania, and came SO close to equalising) can do and he is the most inform striker we have so he should defo play. We think (a) 442 (formation) with Macca (Steve Macmanaman, another Liverpool player, who, like Owen, was unjustifiably not put in the first team) on the left wing too". Apollo 440 are now "Off to Paris for press conf for the JMJ gig" That's the gig for the World Cup final, and that should be watched by over a quarter of the world's population.

UPDATE August 98 (1)

Lost In Space entered the UK charts at an amazing number 4 on August 3 1998 - the only groups ahead of them were some of the most popular in the world - Spice Girls, Puff Daddy (& Jimmy Page), Pras (Refugee Camp).
