Episode 23: Body Electric - Two Worlds (1985)

  • Summary

  • The Body Electric remains a fantastic hi-tech AOR group with a fresh and modern sound that was undeniably ahead of its time with their first release in 1984. Founded by David Sinclair (Vocals/Guitar), Bob Buckley (Vocals/Keyboards), Ross Friesen (Drums), and Kelly Cook (Bass) the band spawned many early charting singles such as "Somewhere in Time" on the RPM top 100 and the Adult Contemporary charts in 1984. The band followed up their early success with a EP entitled "Two Worlds" in 1985. Replacing Kelly Cook with Brian Newcombe on bass, the new look band released  the softer pop ballad "Do you think they can tell" charting in the top 100 and Adult Contemporary charts, other strong songs such as "All Through The Night" did not garner any attention for pop rock enthusiasts which is criminally under-rated. The 5 song EP should of jump started their success strengthened by famous Engineer Bob Rock (The Cult, Metallica, Motley Crue, Rockhead) and Mike Fraser (AC/DC) working the engineering and studio side of things. In 1987 the band replaced Ross Friesen on drums with Jerry Adolphe from Prototype and signed with Parallel One records to continue well into 1987 with "Walking Through Walls" and only spawned one ballad hit , "Strangers in Love" appearing in the low 80's on the RPM charts and low 9's on the  CANCON charts.  Included in this podcast for your listening enjoyment is the song "All Through The Night" that should of been a top charting hit back in 1985. This is a fantastic Canadian band that no doubt should of had way more attention than they garnered back in the 80s.
