Does anybody know who was the girl drummer who appeared on the "Be Near Me" video and (in cartoon form) the "(How to be a) Millionaire" video?AnonMoos 02:58, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
It was the group's auxiliary percussionist/backup singer, Fiona Russell-Powell. She portrayed the fictitious supermodel "Eden" on the How To Be A...Zillionaire! album, the source album of the songs "Be Near Me" and "(How to be a) Millionaire". Sk'py Skwrrrl 14:58, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
I think "auxiliary percussionist/backup singer" is overdoing it a bit. It's been fairly well documented that both she and David Yarritu were strictly there for the band "image" of the time. It is doubtful in the extreme that either of them participated in any way on any actual recordings, with the possible exception of the track "A To Z" (and even on that, "Eden" sounds suspiciously like a speeded-up Martin Fry.)
In my opinion the "Look of Love" video is classic -- not sure whether I should add something about it, since it would be my purely personal opinion... AnonMoos 02:58, 6 December 2005 (UTC) The Look Of Love video i thought was always quite shoddy, Poison Arrow, Be Near Me, All Of My Heart much better. You could add somethings about the longform video album/film mantrap, think it was one of the very first projects like thisDJ HEAVEN 09:32, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
The "David Palmer" disambiguation page linked to in the "Members" section of this article doesn't appear to reference the group's David Palmer. Unless, of course, I'm wrong. Catbar (Brian Rock) 04:23, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Members"
It seems someone has confused members with session players in the info box here. If the band has listed the members on their releases, then this should be the source used, if someone failed to be listed as a member by the band themselves, then it is safe to say they were only session players.--Tednor 12:57, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
