 hip online: artists: apollo 440
If you are familiar with Apollo Four Forty already, it's probably because of "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Dub," their unforgettable 1995 Van Halen-meets-drum 'n' bass collage, or from the band's gigantic theme to the 1997 movie "Lost In Space." The truth of the matter is, though, Apollo Four Forty's been around a lot longer than that.
Their 1995 debut album, Millennium Fever, spawned three UK Top 40 singles and placed Apollo Four Forty at the forefront of the dance/rock interface, a position that was cemented with the release of their second album, 1997's Electro Glide In Blue.
Apollo Four Forty's skill with drum 'n' bass shines in the "Lost In Space (Theme)." Updating the classic television show theme for the 'Net-space age, they turn it into a pedal-to-the-metal blast of guitar riffage, while keeping the track's rhythmic base firmly in d 'n' b.

 The Harvard Crimson :: Arts :: Apollo 440 Takes Flight
Formed in 1991 in Liverpool, England, by brothers Howard and Trevor Gray and guitarist Noko, Apollo 440 gained a reputation as a dance group that was decidedly eclectic, criss-crossing the various subgenres of dance music.
Apollo 440's big-beat-tinged songs tend to have an arena-rock quality; indeed, their biggest hit, 1997's apostrophe-laden "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Dub," samples a Van Halen guitar riff.
Fortunately, Apollo 440 finally took off, moving into a series of beat-heavy songs that restarted the crowd.

 Apollo 440: "Gettin' High On Your Supply" ---Ink Blot Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
Apollo 440 were formed in 1990 by brothers Trevor and Howard Gray with their schoolmate Niko, formerly the guitarist for Luxuria.
Gettin' High is Apollo 440's latest release and the follow-up to '97's Electro Glide In Blue featuring the wonderfully abrasive single "Ain't Talkin' Bout Dub" which incorporated musical samples from Van Halen.
Unafraid to stray outside of the realm of modular percussion that classifies most techno, Apollo 440 seem to have created a new facet for themselves.

 Norman Fisher-Jones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name Noko, whilst sounding Japanese, is in fact just a Scouser nickname for Norman, which may at first glance be hard to believe given Noko's obsession with Japan.
There are many myths ranking around how exactly the first meeting took place, ranging from absurdly comical to realistic, most of which were distributed freely in interviews by the two themselves, but regardless which of these holds truth, the two came together to form the band Luxuria in 1986.
When Luxuria folded in 1990, Noko formed a new band together with his friends Trevor Gray and Howard Gray whom he knew from school, as well as with James Gardner (again) to form Apollo 440 and the record label Stealth Sonic Recordings (later distributed by Sony Music).

 Apollo 440   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
Recognized as A440 and as Stealth Sonic Orchestra, Apollo 440 are the truest of musical patriots, forging a hybridized blending of rock and dance to invigorate the senses.
Last time we checked, Apollo 440 had 8 full-time members, with founding brothers Howard and Trevor Gray working the synth racks and mixing boards and guitarist/founder/programmer Noko heading up the front of the stage with his searing guitar stabs and insightful production talents.
We originally formed Apollo 440 when Howard, Trevor and I were living in London back in the early 90s.

Apollo 440's fourth studio album, Dude Descending a Staircase, is their most retro album yet.
However, rather than develop their big beat style into something exciting and different, like the Lo fidelity Allstars they have produced a sanitised variation of their former self that is at best an exercise in nostalgia, at worst a support for that wonky leg on the coffee table.
A great aspect of Apollo 440 is how they cover many different musical styles.

Apollo 440 : Gettin' High on Your Own Supply
No need to worry about Apollo 440 turning intelligent in the wake of electronica's growing experimental leanings.
Seemingly oblivious that even their youngest listeners could spot their samples, Apollo 440 pillage Led Zeppelin and Status Quo (among others), blending styles from trance, ska, hip-hop, dub, and disco with a tossed-off feel that's quite charming.

This is a great album from the under-rated and reasonably unknown Apollo Four Forty.
On par with their first album, Electroglide has many varied styles and culminates in a superb neo-classical piece "Stealth Mass in F." If you don't like it the first time you hear it you may do on repeated listenings, it grows on you.
Apollo four forty got my attention after the exelent track "Ain't Talkin''Bout Dub" which is a awesome dance track with some awesome samples from Van Halen.

Apollo 440 : Albums : Electro Glide in Blue : Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Dub : Reviews
A more satisfying album than their previous Sony effort, Electro Glide in Blue sees Apollo 440 moving closer to straight-ahead techno and away from commercial pop, a good move considering the electronic atmosphere of the times.
Whether it's the Sony Playstation video-game track "Rapid Racer" or an incredibly well-done duet with former Associates vocalist Billy Mackenzie on "Pain in Any Language," Apollo 440 proves they're no strangers to the dancefloor.

While they’ve gained a fine reputation as mixmasters themselves (having handled remixes for Lenny Kravitz, Puff Daddy/Jimmy Page, U2, and way too many others to mention here), their most famous turn has most likely been their remake of the theme to “Lost In Space,” featured in that awful movie that was released last year.
With an extremely energetic, exciting set, Apollo 440 recently took New York City by storm.
Opening with the aforementioned theme, they swept the crowded hall into another dimension.
