The single and album were released in the US under the band name Playback, which Brown and Dunlop had used for other projects, to avoid confusion with the US band Player. The reply came back for the States that this was intended for 13- to 14-year-olds: ‘You’ve lost us.'” Dunlop recalled: “We sat down and wrote a bunch of space songs, but instead of sticking to the concept of the hit, we wandered off into the ‘clever’ musical genre with fancy time signatures, radical chord progressions and so on. It was, however, influential in the history of dance music, being sampled by Jesse Saunders for the bassline of what is commonly held to be the first Chicago house music record, “On and On” (1984).ĭunlop and Brown also released an album as Player One, Game Over. The song was released internationally but failed to chart outside Australia.
