Saâda Bonaire was an innovative electronic dance act that appeared in the early 1980s. The group featured Stefanie Lange and Claudia Hossfeld. It all wound up working out a little less that with wild success--in a commercial sense anyway. Apparently it all involves a slippery A&R man at EMI who blew his budgets like the Hindenberg.
Saâda Bonaire and Tina Turner were his responsibility. Guess which act was dumped on?
The music was produced y Dennis Bovel who also worked with Slits. The only released single, You Could Be More Than You Are, was produced in Kraftwerk's studio by Matumbi. Is there a higher electronic pedigree than THAT? Maybe if Brian Eno had hovered over the studio with Gary Numan and Klaus Nomi.
After the single it all vanished into the mist.
But on November 12, 2013 the full record (single plus 11 more songs) comes out remastered on CD and vinyl. Check out the track, You Could Be More Than You Are, below. It reminds me a little of The Flying Lizards.
