In this episode of 'Behind the Hits,' we delve into the captivating story behind Tasmin Archer's iconic track, 'Sleeping Satellite,' released in 1992. Join us as we uncover the journey of a talented English artist who rose from the shadows of backing vocals to create a song that echoed a powerful critique of human nature.
Tasmin Archer's musical journey began as a chorus member of the group Dignity in the late '80s, juggling various odd jobs to sustain her passion for music. From seamstress to secretary and even an employee at the Leeds tribunal, Archer's determination remained unyielding. Her breakthrough came when she crossed paths with musicians John Beck and John Hughes, altering the course of her life.
During the summer of 1989, the trio crafted the instrumental for a song, but it lacked lyrics. Inspired by a news article commemorating the 20th anniversary of Neil Armstrong's first steps on the Moon, John Hughes discussed the idea with Tasmin Archer. The result? 'Sleeping Satellite,' a poignant reflection on the 1960s space race and humanity's unbridled competition to conquer Earth's natural satellite.
