has an autobiography of sorts. It's actually a pretty decent read so far, and it confirms two things I've long thought about horn. One, he's a musically talented producer with a seemingly endless ability to make a hit song who understands how to make something sound good. And two, he's a narcissistic self-absorbed bell end and not always artist friendly. It's a reputation he seems happy to have earned.

"Horn’s own fire, however, seems in no danger of going out. Multiple projects keep him in touch with music and production (Dr Dre is his favorite producer, while his son Aaron was Grammy-nominated for his own production work with Doja Cat), and he is contemplating both a Los Angeles-based concept album and a Buggles tour for next year."

This song hit #1 on this day in 1979. It went on to become the first video to be aired on MTV.

“They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine on new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see”

A 12" mix from the 1980s is Today's Track Of The Day. The astounding Trevor Horn produced Two Tribes from Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

Very Scary when you consider the voice over is actually being read from UK advice on what to do when the sirens go off.
