Eskimos and Egypt

Eskimos and Egypt

Eskimos and Egypt was a late 1980s to mid 1990s cross-over band based out of Manchester, England. The band was one of the early pioneers of 'live' dance music. The band's members were Paul Cundall on keyboards and synthesizer, David Cameron-Pryde on keyboards and bass, Mark Compton on keyboards and guitar and Christopher O'Hare on keyboards and vocals. Their unofficial fifth member was long term collaborator Mark Stagg, who acted as engineer.

They first recorded a single in 1987 called "The Cold EP", which was released on Village Records. After being taken on by DEF management (Moby/Sparks/Robyn/Sonique)they then released a series of singles that were well-received in dance clubs in the UK, especially "The Power of G'N'R'" and their breakthrough "Fall From Grace" and "UK:USA". The band's debut album "Perfect Disease" was released on One Little Indian Records in 1993. Their follow up "The Rest Is Silence" was released in Germany and Japan after a label change to Motor Music (Polygram). In 1997 they released "Kamikaze". "Kamikaze" was critically very well received but didn't convert to commercial sales. Paul Cundall left the band as they moved more into production ( producing mixes for Moby, Tamperer, Sparks, Rammstein) The band recorded a 4th album entitled "Geek" which never saw a full commercial release and signalled the end for the band.

Since the split of Eskimos and Egypt, David Cameron-Pryde and Mark Compton, together with engineer Mark Stagg have produced tracks and albums for various bands including Sonique, T.A.T.U., Erasure and 'Kealer' to name a few. They also produced and co-wrote the music and lyrics for "The Spirit of the Hawk" by Rednex a ten week number one single in Europe. They write and produce under the name FAF and Cap Com Productions. Mark Compton manages new Manchester band 'Bauer' and David Cameron Pryde manages the band 'Kid British' (Mercury Records) as well as unsigned artists 'Orchids' and electronica newbies 'Dieter & The Gadabouts'.

The track "Welcome to the Future" was used by Nintendo as hold music.
