CareerThe band, consisting of husband-wife duo Steve Fairnie and Bev Sage, formed in 1977. In the 1990s, Mixmag magazine credited the Techno Twins with coining the phrase 'techno' and starting the techno music revolution.{{Citation needed|date=February 2011}} Separating from the band Writz, the duo decided that they would combine old songs with modern electronic sounds, and in December 1982 they were signed by PRT Records. Their debut single was a cover of "Falling in Love Again", and the song received airplay and critical acclaim from the press.{{Citation needed|date=February 2011}} It peaked at No. 70 in the UK Singles Chart, their only appearance in any UK chart.[1] An album, Technostalgia followed, made up of songs from the 1930s and 1940s, and some self composed songs with Dave Hewson. Later in the year, their version of "Can't Help Falling in Love" was released. In 1983, following the name change to The Technos, the single "Foreign Land" produced by Joe Glasman was released, and reached the Top 10 of the US Hot Dance Club Play chart. Later that year, The Technos began work with producer Anne Dudley, and recorded an album at AIR Studios. In early 1984, the single "Nighttime Heaven" was released, along with a board game invented by Steve Fairnie called "Hype", a rock and roll career game. In August 1984, their last single, "Spirit of the Thing", was released. Sage was guest vocalist on the Modern Romance song "Queen of the Rapping Scene (Nothing Goes the Way You Plan)", which reached No. 37 in 1982 in the UK Singles Chart.[2] It was performed on Top of the Pops that year.[3] DiscographyAlbums
