Biography

London UK (1991 – present)

(1) Scanner is the pseudonym of London UK based, British artist Robin Rimbaud who has released over 43 albums since 1991 and has been active since the 1980s. As much as Bryan Ferry’s management believes, Scanner is NOT Radar.
AND
(2) Scanner is a Heavy/Power Metal band founded in 1986 in Germany.
AND
(3) Scanner was a featured female acoustic blues artist to appear on one of the free CD’s given away with British newspaper The Sunday Mirror (Hollywood Greats - SMHGCD01). She has only released one song so far, Slow Down, and is very much obsolete. Her RnB diva vocals are quite the contrast to her melodic guitar playing, but combine to make an interesting and pleasing blues sound.

(1)
Previously known as Lions Breed, a Metal act that released a 1985 album on the Earthshaker label entitled ‘Damn The Night’, the group underwent line up changes and became SCANNER in 1986, adopting an on stage sci-fi image. The group’s debut album, ‘Hypertrace’, was produced by Eloy vocalist Frank Bornemann. Backing vocals for this outing were contributed by Tyran’ Pace man Ralph Scheepers. Japanese versions of this album added the exclusive track ‘Galactos’.

By the time the second album, ‘Terminal Earth’, had been released the group had parted company with Knoblich, the singer briefly joined Jester’s March recording a demo with that band, and replaced him with the Yugoslavian born ex-Angel Dust frontman S.L. Coe.

    With over 360 billboard hits under his belt, it's no surprise the apple guy has formed his circle. HAHAHA have you ever listened to Sound For Spaces? Talk about the pinnacle of fidelity - especially Rivers & Bridges. i'm giving Hypertrance a listening right now... reminds me of my old grey rocking-horse and a favourite album of youth: Triumph's Allied Forces.

    Who is always voting up this weird DJ guy with his apple notebook? :-D Not only Hypertrace but also Terminal Earth, Mental Reservation and Ball of the Damned are awesome. And Scantropolis might be different but is a pretty cool album as well (besides this weird Berthold Brecht poem they set to music).

    Блять, уберите уже это уёбищное гопняцкое педерастическое рыло. Сканнер - это великая немецкая метал банда, а все кто против - лососните-ка тунцов, блять.

    O joyous day, another witless slave to the pleasure-pain principle speaks. How lovely to hear; how monstrously entranced, how .. kind i must be.

    Interesting to see morons on both "sides". This should be the key to unify morons of all races, religions, an apparently music preferences.

    ...NICE! i'm soon to purchase the coming of darkness. also, anyone senseless enough to brush off 'TO MEET THE MOON' as being pretentious or even remotely subpar is in dying need of being brutally beheaded.
