Spiller Misses Sophie

Almost a year after it first appeared on release schedules, Spiller's follow up single to Groovejet crept into Britain's top 40 this week at the lowly position of 40. The track's relative failure will be a blow for both Spiller and his label Positiva, particularly since Groovejet singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor's career has taken off since she went solo (on Polygram).

Also failing commercially in the same week was Plank 15's hotly tipped remake of Derrick May's Strings Of Life. The Multiply released cover version entered the pop charts at 60, presumably delighting techno purists.
