Germany (1986 – present)

(1) Scanner is a Heavy/Power Metal band founded in 1986 in Germany.
AND
(2) 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
(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.

    If only my computer worked... I think my scrobblings for "Hypertrace" would increase at least five times more than now.
