Terraplane were a 1980s
pop/rock group fromLondon ,England , featuring three musicians who would go on to form thehard rock act Thunder.Singer
Danny Bowes , guitaristLuke Morley and drummerGary James were joined by bassistNick Linden and second guitaristRudi Rivière . Their debut album, "Black and White" (originally titled "Talking To God On The Great White Telephone ") and released byEpic Records in 1985 was critically well received, but by 1987 record company pressure was pushing the band (against their wishes) into a more soulful direction, with the resulting album "Moving Target " alienating the band's fans and failing to attract new ones.Morley, Bowes and James would regroup in 1989 to form Thunder; all three remain in that band to this day.
