In 1979, Scottish folk singer Mary Sandeman released her debut album, “Introducing Mary Sandeman”, an eclectic concoction of Gaelic singing, Welsh traditionals and even a cover of ABBA’s “My Love, My Life”. Two years later she adopted the name Aneka and stormed the charts all over Europe with million-seller “Japanese Boy”. Left with a dilemma what to do with her ‘Japanese image’, Mary started experimenting with underground dance, avantgarde pop and prog-rock. The latter can be heard on her 1982 single “Alister McColl”, a song that sounds like a hard rock Kate Bush. Produced by Neil Ross, who worked before as an assistant producer for Genesis, the song has a huge build-up and climax - driven by Sandeman’s impressive vocal hidden treasure could have been the inspiration behind Weyes Blood and Ariel Pink’s “Tears On Fire”. Bring Aneka back!
