It proved to be expensive, though, partly because I flew to New York on Concorde to master it, partly because we had a horn section and string section on it. I think it’s fair to say that I got carried away. Paphides, Peter (19 October 2003). "Belle & Sebastian, Dear Catastrophe Waitress". The Guardian . Retrieved 19 April 2023. Bonus material includes: Documentary; "Frankie Say Reform" special; juke box facility; Dolby Digital 5.1 mix concert only [8] [9]The big budgets, the bad behaviour (Horn has to be physically restrained from punching Yes’ Chris Squire in the face at one point), the jet-setting (Concorde is mentioned more than once) and the enormous amounts of time spend in lavish studios, are now largely a product of a bygone age, so the ‘modern’ in the title is something of a misnomer, or perhaps said with a tongue firmly in cheek. However the music endures and these accounts of the sessions that created that music –Trevor blowing his own horn –are both as entertaining and as enlightening as you would hope for. Highly recommended. Downes has continued to release sporadic solo albums over the years, mainly under the name The New Dance Orchestra. They include the critically acclaimed 1986 double album The Light Programme, in addition to Vox Humana (1992), Shadows & Reflections (2003), along with a few others. He performed a sold out one-man show in 2003 at St Cyprian's Church in London, which was recorded using ambisonics technology. [ citation needed]

[60] A single, " Everybody Wants to Rule the World", with vocals by Robbie Williams, was released on 24 October 2018. [61] Further guests include Rumer, All Saints, Simple Minds and Gabrielle Aplin. In late 2017, Horn's Sarm West Coast residential studio in Bel Air, Los Angeles, was destroyed in the Skirball Fire. Horn was not present at the time of the fire. [62] The thing was that I wanted to do a really good record with Grace, not just some throwaway song, and that’s what the original of Slave to the Rhythm sounded like. In retrospect, I should have finished there and then, and saved loads of time, money and energy. Instead, I decided that we would rewrite the song and play it over a go-go beat.

When I ask if I can use the toilet in Trevor Horn’s house, he shows me the way there himself. “Bob Hoskins’ old thunderbox,” he smiles as he opens the door. “He used to sit there and read his scripts, apparently.” In recent years, Downes has teamed up with Wetton in a separate project under the name Icon. They have released three studio albums: Icon (2005), Icon II: Rubicon (2006), and Icon 3 (2009) and live album from their 2005 tour. Horn co-wrote "Everybody Up", the theme song to the TV programme The Glam Metal Detectives, a comedy sketch show which appeared on BBC Two in 1995. This was another collaboration with Lol Creme. In 1992, Horn collaborated with composer Hans Zimmer to produce the score for the film Toys, which included interpretations by Tori Amos, Pat Metheny and Thomas Dolby.

The Telegraph values your comments but kindly requests all posts are on topic, constructive and respectful. Please review our Horn has his own home studio these days, albeit a little bigger than most, occupying the ground floor of a double-fronted, Georgian townhouse in north London. Some of his four adult children share his home, and there are bicycles and muddy boots, signs of messy family life, dotted amongst instruments and equipment. By now our epic needed a climax which the song didn’t have written in it, we needed to put something together. I saw Grace on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson promoting some movie she was in and thought, Why not use the opening line from his show? Hence, "Here’s Grace!" Grace loved the idea and did it in one take.
