| Generation X bassist Tony James.Tony James, Martin Degville, Neal X (Whitmore), Chris Kavanagh, Ray Mayhew and Yana Yaya.While searching for members, in 1983 Tony James tried out Andrew Eldritch from The Sisters of Mercy and, on Mick Jones' suggestion, auditioned Annie Lennox.The band took its name from a Moscow street gang called Sigue Sigue Sputnik, which means "Burn, burn, satellite."The "packaging" of the band's appearance and presentation was carefully considered well before the band ever performed in public.Inspired by the Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren's unorthodox methods of promoting a band, Tony James generated a great deal of hype about Sigue Sigue Sputnik, while wisely not allowing anyone from the music industry a chance to hear the band.The buzz became a frenzy as several record labels began a bidding war to sign Sigue Sigue Sputnik.The single, as well as the album that followed, was produced by Giorgio Moroder, an Italian record producer and film composer known for his innovative work with synthesizers during the 1970s and for producing disco hits such as Donna Summer's "I Feel Love".TVs," and a "freako psycho horror show".The group split soon after the release of their second album, Dress for Excess (the initial single from which, "Success", was produced by British hitmakers Stock, Aitken and Waterman).Tony James stated that the band "...James also blamed the media for the band's fall from grace.Once the initial shock and tabloid outrage over the band's unusual image and appearance had worn off, media coverage became dismissive, criticizing the band's focus on image and style.Tony James reformed Sigue Sigue Sputnik twice, albeit without all the original members.The band was reformed once in the 1990s (featuring Tomoyasu Hotei on guitar and Christopher Novak singing) releasing Sputnik: Next Generation and once again in 2001 with Martin Degville and Neal X, which resulted in the release of Piratespace.The reformed Sigue Sigue Sputnik continues to play live, and it has also produced a number of remixes of other artists' work.In 2004, Martin Degville left the band to pursue a solo career (see Sputnik2 link below).The band encourage their fans to share their music on P2P networks, and allow the audio and video taping of their shows.Westbam Remix)
