Tim Gane is also the name of a drummer in the Canadian group Martha and the Muffins.
Tim Gane (born July 12, 1964, in Barking, Essex, England) is the leader of the rock band Stereolab.
Gane's musical influences are wide-ranging, and generally lie outside the rock mainstream: the krautrock of Neu! and Faust; the sunshine pop of Brian Wilson, Wendy & Bonnie and The Zombies; Brazilian bossa nova composer Antonio Carlos Jobim; soundtrack composers Ennio Morricone and Roy Budd; and classical composers such as Gustav Holst and Claude Debussy.
He started his musical career as a purveyor of harsh noise under the alias Unkommuniti, and was a key member of McCarthy from 1984-1990.
