The first ever LTM 12" single is from Factory dance trailblazers Quando Quango, the seminal 80s electronic dance combo of Hillegonda 'Gonnie' Rietveld and Mike Pickering. Formed in 1981 in Rotterdam, the duo relocated to Manchester in 1982 and went on to release four cult singles and an album for Factory Records, Pigs and Battleships (1985).This 12" features versions of three of their best known singles, produced or mixed by legendary New York maestro Mark Kamins: Love Tempo (1983), originally produced by Be Music/Dojo, reached No.4 on the Billboard dance charts. Atom Rock (1984), here in the rare spacey US dub version, features guest guitar by Johnny Marr of The Smiths. Genius (1985), the fly Latino party classic was given a new lease of life on Andrew Weatherall's celebrated 9 O'Clock Drop compilation in 2000.
The original mixes of Love Tempo and Atom Rock are featured on the acclaimed LTM compilation Cool As Ice: The Be Music Productions (LTMCD/LP 2377), available on CD and limited 2xLP. The remastered Quando Quango album Pigs + Battleships (LTMCD 2360) with bonus tracks is available too.
