Bio:
Terraplane were a 1980s pop rock band from London, England. Composed of five musicians, they released two albums before disbanding in 1988. The band featured three musicians who would go on to form the hard rock act, Thunder. They are distinct from the German psychedelic groove rock band Terraplane, based in Wernigerode, which released three albums between 2000 and 2007.Singer Danny Bowes, guitarist Luke Morley and drummer Harry James and bassist Nick Linden were the original recording line-up. After releasing a single on the independent 'City' label, they soon signed with Epic Records. With the much-delayed debut album almost completely recorded, they recruited second guitarist Rudi Rivière in time for him to appear on just one track on that release. That first studio album, Black and White (originally titled Talking to God on the Great White Telephone) was released by Epic Records in January 1986 and was critically well received. However, by 1987 their record label was exerting pressure on the band to follow up with another album of a soulful direction, with the resulting album Moving Target alienating the band's fan base.Morley, Bowes and James regrouped in 1989 to form Thunder; all three remain in that band as of February 2019.
Album:
Before Thunder, there was TERRAPLANE.Recorded at Tridents 1 & 2, Sarm West, CBS, Mayfair & The Cutter during the summer and winter of 1986.As a fan of the English "Thunder", you simply have to have this disc from their predecessor band to understand where the "Thunder" songs come from.Singer Danny Bowes was already unmistakable back then.Worthwhile for anyone who likes rock music with horns and the occasional gospel choir.Far inferior to the debut, but still a few gems on here.Sadly the band saw themselves as a rock band with pop overtones, but the record label saw them as a pop band with rock overtones..the record label won on this one, and the fans and the band lost out. The follow up to this would have included many songs that were later re-recorded by Thunder, and I think it would have been cool if they could have been released at some point.
