Single Gun Theory were an Australian electronic dance
music band formed in 1986. Founding mainstay members were Jacqui Hunt on lead
vocals; Kath Power on vocal melodies and synthesiser; and Peter Rivett-Carnac
on guitar, synthesiser and sampling. They were brought to the attention of
Nettwerk Records by fellow Aussie Tom Ellard of Severed Heads. Single Gun
Theory shared Ellard's love of the found soundbyte, but musically, they were an
entirely different story. Their synth-heavy sound is generally pleasant, more
like Book of Love, but occasionally a Dissidenten-like Eastern twist was thrown
in. Occasionally things get a bit intense, as on the title track, but mostly
it's innocuous electro-pop music. It sounds a bit dated now, but it was
certainly ahead of its time when it was released.
