Technova is indeed David Harrow, but (long) before that he had a career as keyboard player with Anne Clark (remember her?). I think he played all the music on her early albums. Also, he released one solo single ("No Easy Targets") and a single with Peter Hope (once of Sheffield band The Box, also recorded an album with Richard H. Kirk - small world, innit?) on Ink Records in the mid-eighties; there's probably more solo stuff. Later still, he was a member of Jah Wobble's band, Invaders Of The Heart, on the excellent "Without Judgement" album, after which he became a member of the On-U / Sherwood clan for a while (on LeBlanc's "Tasteless Cuts" & "Raw" albums, Little Annie's "Short & Sweet", Andy Fairley's brilliant "System Vertigo" LP, the "Got To Move Pt. 2" LP, Strange Parcels' "Disconnected" and Mark Stewart's "Metatron" album). After making two albums as Technova, he has now teamed up with Andrew Weatherall under some name I've forgot. The only track I've heard by them was on the Help album as the Planet 4 Folk Quartet (or something) - not too good, but perhaps greater things are still ahead. Maarten
