Информация о артисте
MARRS (stylised M|A|R|R|S on logo) was a 1987 one-off recording act formed by the groups A.R. Kane and Colourbox. It became "a one-hit wonder of rare influence"[1] due to their international hit "Pump Up the Volume", considered the first UK number one to contain samples from other songs, and nominated for a Grammy Award in 1989.
History
MARRS started in 1987 as a collaboration between the groups A.R. Kane and Colourbox, with additional input from DJs Chris "C.J." Mackintosh and Dave Dorrell. However, the collaboration did not go entirely according to plan. Once in the studio, the groups' different working methods and personalities failed to gel. Producer Jon Fryer found himself in the middle and unable to resolve the conflict between the two camps. The result was that instead of working together, the two groups ended up recording a track each, then turning it over to the other for additional input.
Of the two pieces completed, one, "Anitina" was an A.R. Kane track with drum programming by Colourbox's Steve Young. The other, "Pump Up the Volume", was a propulsive Martyn Young track constructed largely of samples, including one of A.R. Kane's guitars.
The record was released under the alias MARRS, an acronym derived from the forenames of the five 4AD artists involved in the project: Martyn, Alex Ayuli, and Rudy Tambala (from A.R. Kane); Russell Smith (an associate A.R. Kane member); and Steve (from Colourbox).
MARRS's sole release was the double A-sided single "Pump Up the Volume" / "Anitina", released on 4AD in the UK. Only "Pump Up the Volume" gained significant attention and airplay and went on to be a number one hit in the United Kingdom. It was also released on 4th & B'way Records/Island Records in the U.S. "Pump Up the Volume" is considered to have been the first UK number one to contain samples from other songs. The performance was nominated for the 1989 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance but lost out to "Close-Up" by David Sanborn. Plans for any follow-up material never materialized, and creative differences split up the group.

MARRS (or M/A/R/R/S or M|A|R|R|S) was a one-off recording act from 1987, which was a collaboration between the alternative/dream pop band A.R. Kane and the electro/reggae group Colourbox, with additional input from DJs CJ Mackintosh and Dave Dorrell. Both artists recorded on the legendary London, England alternative label 4AD. M/A/R/R/S' sole release was the single Pump up the Volume, which was a number-one hit in the United Kingdom and a significant milestone in the development of British house music and sampling culture. "Pump up the Volume" is considered to have been the first U.K. number one to contain samples from other songs. "Pump Up the Volume" is widely credited with giving Israeli Eurovision Song Contestant Ofra Haza a worldwide audience for her interpretive modern renditions of traditional Yemenite spirituals and folk songs. Also of note is that M/A/R/R/S were successfully sued in Great Britain by Stock Aitken Waterman for the use of a 7 second vocal element taken from the latter's "Roadblock" and used in "Pump of the Volume'"s early pressings. By the time the single saw US release in late 1987, the offending warble (and a few other sounds of dubious provenance) had been edited out or replaced with other elements. The original British version is widely considered the best by fans and collectors alike. Read more on Last.fm.
