RE:SEARCH

BIOGRAPHY:

Electronic act formed from the ashes of Final Solution in 1991 by Alan Benzie (mixing), Gordon Robertson (keyboards) & Stephen Smith (mixing). Pre-empting stuff that the Chemical Brothers did much better later on, Re:search did live shows in Glasgow and Edinburgh, and once filled the QMU to bursting. The act featured occasional vocalist Maggie McCann, and also featured dancers as well. Re:search recorded tracks for 2 CDs - "Out There - A Thread Through Time" (a compilation of various Scottish electronica-type bands) & "'Twist" (a compilation of Chris & Cosey covers). The band finally gave up the ghost around 1996, with Benzie moving to London to become a web designer, whilst Robertson later became a comedy script writer for the like of "The Karen Dunbar Show" & "Only An Excuse".
