'''Red Box''' were a [[United Kingdom|British]] [[Pop music|pop]] group active from the early 1980s to the early 1990s, founded by [[Simon Toulson-Clarke]] and Julian Close. They scored two [[UK Singles Chart|UK Top Ten]] hits with the [[Single (music)|singles]] "Lean on Me (ah-li-ayo)" in 1985 and "For America" in 1986, both of which were included on their debut album ''[[The Circle & The Square]]''.
Red Box returned briefly in 1990, by now essentially [[singer-songwriter]] Simon Toulson-Clarke with a third line-up of supporting players, with the following single "Train" and second album ''[[Motive (album)|Motive]]'' more akin to solo releases.
==History==
===Early years and Formation (1978–1984)===
Simon Toulson-Clarke formed his first band at age thirteen with school friend Paddy Talbot, playing covers of [[Led Zeppelin]] and [[Deep Purple]] as well as some self-penned material. Other early influences are cited as being [[Marc Bolan]], [[Cream (band)|Cream]], [[Pink Floyd]], [[Cat Stevens]] and particularly [[Buffy Sainte-Marie]].<ref name="lewisslade.com">{{cite web | title = Simon Toulson-Clarke: The Interview | publisher = lewisslade.com | url = http://www.lewisslade.com/redbox/STC_INTERVIEW2003.html | accessdate = 2007-05-24 }}</ref> On leaving school he moved to [[Middlesbrough]] and formed another band in the vein of [[New York Dolls]].<ref name="lewisslade.com">{{cite web | title = Simon Toulson-Clarke: The Interview | publisher = lewisslade.com | url = http://www.lewisslade.com/redbox/STC_INTERVIEW2003.html | accessdate = 2007-05-24 }}</ref>
In the late '70s he travelled south to study at The Polytechnic of Central London (now [[University of Westminster]]), where he formed a band with Bristolian Julian Close.<ref name="lewisslade.com">{{cite web | title = Simon Toulson-Clarke: The Interview | publisher = lewisslade.com | url = http://www.lewisslade.com/redbox/STC_INTERVIEW2003.html | accessdate = 2007-05-24 }}</ref> Initially the band performed under the name Harlequins and comprised Toulson-Clarke (vocals/guitar) and Close (saxophone) together with Paddy Talbot (keyboards), Rob Legge (bass) and Martin Nickson (drums).<ref name="blythe book">{{cite book | last = Blythe | first = Daniel | title = The Encyclopaedia of Classic 80s Pop |date=2002 }}</ref>
The band later took the name Red Box—after some deliberation—from a box left behind by the rock group [[Slade]] following a performance at college (and in which they had since been storing [[microphones]]).<ref name="lewisslade.com">{{cite web | title = Simon Toulson-Clarke: The Interview | publisher = lewisslade.com | url = http://www.lewisslade.com/redbox/STC_INTERVIEW2003.html | accessdate = 2007-05-24 }}</ref> The name was favoured for its [[political]] (Red) connotations—Toulson-Clarke describes the band members as [[Student activism|'Student Activists']]. He was also attracted to the notion of ''square'' (Box) being an old [[North American Indian]] term for 'white man' (''circle'' being the term for 'man' before Europeans were encountered),<ref name="lewisslade.com">{{cite web | title = Simon Toulson-Clarke: The Interview | publisher = lewisslade.com | url = http://www.lewisslade.com/redbox/STC_INTERVIEW2003.html | accessdate = 2007-05-24 }}</ref> a concept which would be explored further on the debut ''[[The Circle & The Square]]'' album in the song "Heart of the Sun", a line from which gave the album its title.
The group released their debut single "Chenko" on the [[Cherry Red]] label in [[1983 in music|1983]]. Following this, the band slimmed down to a duo, and took on a more [[synth pop]] direction. Their second single "[[Saskatchewan]]" (a cover of the [[Buffy Sainte-Marie]] song) brought them to the attention of [[Warner Music Group|WEA]], which signed the duo.
===''The Circle & the Square'' (1985–1987)===
In August [[1985 in music|1985]] the duo enjoyed their first UK hit single, "Lean on Me", a song which reached number three in the [[UK Top 40]].<ref name="guinness">{{cite book | last = Guinness Publishing Limited | title = Guinness Book of British Hit Singles (7th edition) |date=1988 }}</ref> It was promoted with an unusual [[music video|video]] in which a [[British Sign Language]] (BSL) interpreter provided a translation of the song's lyrics, which led to a feature on [[BBC Two]]'s ''Newsweek'' programme.<ref name="lewisslade.com3">{{cite web | title = Print Article: Lean Times| publisher = lewisslade.com | url = http://www.lewisslade.com/redbox/image/lean_times2.jpg | accessdate = 2007-05-31 }}</ref> The following year, Red Box (with the help of numerous guest musicians, including violinist [[Alexander Bălănescu|Alexander Balanescu]]) released the album ''[[The Circle & The Square]]''.
''[[The Circle & The Square]]'' is an expansive and eclectic collection of songs, presenting a 'culture clash' of influences both musically and thematically, mixing traditional musical styles—[[Brass band|brass ensembles]], [[choral music]] and [[chants]]—with modern [[Rock music|Rock]] and [[Synth Pop]].<ref name="amazon.com2">{{cite web | title = Amazon Music: Red Box - The Circle & The Square (import)| publisher = amazon.com | url = http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000JCUT/qid=1054342884/sr=1-16/ref=sr_1_16/103-6121775-7003809?v=glance&s=music | accessdate = 2007-05-31 }}</ref> Among the many vocalists drafted in to create the multi-tracked [[backing vocals]] (or "Box Vox") is actor [[Anthony Head]] who played Giles in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' and the Prime Minister in ''[[Little Britain]]''.<ref name="www.lewisslade.com/redbox/GINNYCLEE_QA.html">{{cite web | title = 10 Questions and Answers with Ginny Clee| publisher = lewisslade.com | url = http://www.lewisslade.com/redbox/GINNYCLEE_QA.html | accessdate = 2008-03-0 }}</ref>
Another feature of the album is the use of [[phonetics]], as in the chorus of "For America".<ref name="starblind.com">{{cite web | title = Smash Hits: For America lyrics & brief article| publisher = starblind.com | url = http://www.starblind.com/redbox/article_foramericascan.htm| accessdate = 2007-05-29 }}</ref> Both "Lean on Me" and "Chenko" have alternate phonetic titles—"ah-li-ayo" and "tenka-io" respectively.
The album received praise for its "evocative lyrics" and "global political intelligence"<ref name="trouserpress.com">{{cite web | title = Trouser Press review: The Circle & The Square | publisher = trouserpress.com | url = http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=red_box| accessdate = 2007-06-20 }}</ref> and is notable for introducing 'ethnic rhythms' and elements of [[World Music]] into the [[1980s|'80s]] pop milieu alongside established artists such as [[Paul Simon]] ([[Graceland (album)|''Graceland'']], [[1986 in music|1986]]) and [[Kate Bush]] (''[[The Sensual World]]'', [[1989 in music|1989]]). It includes a re-worked version of the 1984 [[Buffy Sainte-Marie]] cover "[[Saskatchewan]]", as well as "Chenko", which was given a more sombre, stately treatment bringing chants to the fore and featuring Balanescu's haunting violin solo. Toulson-Clarke and Close, however, found themselves at odds with the Record Company regarding what it perceived as a lack of [[mainstream]] appeal in their choice of material,<ref name="lewisslade.com">{{cite web | title = Simon Toulson-Clarke: The Interview | publisher = lewisslade.com | url = http://www.lewisslade.com/redbox/STC_INTERVIEW2003.html | accessdate = 2007-05-24 }}</ref> despite the success of "Lean on Me" in the UK and Europe.
Toulson-Clarke responded to [[Warner Music Group|WEA]]'s request for something to appeal to American radio with the sardonic "For America", which lambasted what he saw as the style-over-content approach of the American media,<ref name="starblind.com">{{cite web | title = Smash Hits: For America lyrics & brief article| publisher = starblind.com | url = http://www.starblind.com/redbox/article_foramericascan.htm| accessdate = 2007-05-29 }}</ref> as well as alluding to American military involvement in [[Grenada]] and [[Nicaragua]]. The song was not a hit in the [[USA]], though it did reach the top ten in several countries as well as the UK, where it spent twelve weeks in the chart including two at number ten.<ref name="guinness">{{cite book | last = Guinness Publishing Limited | title = Guinness Book of British Hit Singles (7th edition) |date=1988 }}</ref>
Two more tracks were released as singles—"Heart of the Sun" and a second re-working of "Chenko"—but both failed to make a significant impact on the charts. Due to increasingly strained working relations between the band and the Record Company, Close left to work in [[A & R]] and Toulson-Clarke took time out from writing and recording in order to travel.<ref name="lewisslade.com">{{cite web | title = Simon Toulson_Clarke: The Interview | publisher = lewisslade.com | url = http://www.lewisslade.com/redbox/STC_INTERVIEW2003.html | accessdate = 2007-05-24 }}</ref>
Both "Lean on Me" and "For America" remain staples of UK radio.{{Fact|date=January 2008}}
===''Motive'' (1990)===
In the late '80s Toulson-Clarke was persuaded back to recording by Max Hole—a former contact at [[Warner Music Group|WEA]]—who had been given charge of the subsidiary company [[EastWest]].<ref name="lewisslade.com">{{cite web | title = Simon Toulson_Clarke: The Interview | publisher = lewisslade.com | url = http://www.lewisslade.com/redbox/STC_INTERVIEW2003.html | accessdate = 2007-05-24 }}</ref> He began work on a new album in collaboration with musician and arranger Alastair Gavin, as well as David Motion (who had produced ''[[The Circle & The Square]]''), under the proviso that the 'tribal' elements which contributed so strongly to the sound of the earlier record be toned down.<ref name="lewisslade.com">{{cite web | title = Simon Toulson_Clarke: The Interview | publisher = lewisslade.com | url = http://www.lewisslade.com/redbox/STC_INTERVIEW2003.html | accessdate = 2007-05-24 }}</ref>
''[[Motive (album)|Motive]]'' is less [[Synthesizer|synth]]-based than its predecessor, with several tracks built around piano, brass provided by [[The Kick Horns]] and full orchestral arrangements. It also displays a more personal style of writing from Toulson-Clarke (the song "Moving" is dedicated to the memory of Kenneth Roy Wyles—father of Red Box drummer Chris Wyles—who died during recording),<ref name="starblind3.com">{{cite web | title = Song Listing: Moving (commentary by Simon Toulson-Clarke)| publisher = starblind.com | url = http://www.starblind.com/redbox/song_moving.htm | accessdate = 2007-05-29 }}</ref> combined with the cultural and political allusions of the previous record.
The opening track "Train" most obviously carries over the sound of ''[[The Circle & The Square]]''. It is an up-tempo track, beginning with the sound of a [[locomotive]] gradually picking up speed (and subsequently shunting to a halt at the song's end) and includes samples from the [[Voix Bulgares]], "[[O Fortuna]]" (also known as the theme to the [[Old Spice]] advertisements) and [[T.Rex (band)|T.Rex]]. The use of [[phonetics]] is once again apparent (as it is elsewhere on the album), and the [[hook (music)|hook]] is provided by singer Jenny Tsao's eccentric vocal refrain during the chorus, lending a distinct feel of the [[Orient]].

{{sample box end}}
"Train" was selected as the first single and released in the autumn of 1990, garnering interest from radio and television. The [[music video|video]] was aired on the [[ITV Chart Show]], and the band performed on the re-vamped [[Juke Box Jury]] hosted by [[Jools Holland]], with the panel proclaiming the song a hit.<ref name="lewisslade.com">{{cite web | title = Simon Toulson_Clarke: The Interview | publisher = lewisslade.com | url = http://www.lewisslade.com/redbox/STC_INTERVIEW2003.html | accessdate = 2007-05-24 }}</ref>
Despite the positive reception for "Train", however, and for reasons which remain unclear, the song was recalled from retailers.<ref name="lewisslade.com">{{cite web | title = Simon Toulson_Clarke: The Interview | publisher = lewisslade.com | url = http://www.lewisslade.com/redbox/STC_INTERVIEW2003.html | accessdate = 2007-05-24 }}</ref> No further singles were issued and the album was eventually released without further publicity.
=== Reissues and third Red Box Album (present day) ===
Both ''[[The Circle & The Square]]'' and ''[[Motive (album)|Motive]]'' received only a limited release on [[CD]]. Though the first album was widely released on [[LP album|LP]] and [[compact cassette|cassette]] in 1986, a CD issue was limited to [[Germany]], with a [[reissue]] in [[Japan]] in 1998. Due to the scarcity of both albums on CD format, rare copies are now offered for sale at vastly inflated prices.<ref name="amazon.co.uk">{{cite web | title = Amazon Music: Red Box - Motive | publisher = amazon.co.uk| url = http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B0000AZK9Y/ref=dp_olp_2/203-5589990-9375963 | accessdate = 2007-05-29 }}</ref><ref name="hyper-music.com">{{cite web | title = The Circle & The Square promo import| publisher = hyper-music.com | url = http://www.hyper-music.com/redbox.html | accessdate = 2007-06-22 }}</ref>
In light of continued interest<ref name="amazon.com2">{{cite web | title = Amazon Music: Red Box - The Circle & The Square [import]| publisher = amazon.com | url = http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000JCUT/qid=1054342884/sr=1-16/ref=sr_1_16/103-6121775-7003809?v=glance&s=music | accessdate = 2007-05-31 }}</ref><ref name="kittywompus.com">{{cite web | title = That Pesky Album Art| publisher = kittywompus.com | url = http://www.kittywompus.com/macadamia/2003/05/that_pesky_album_art.html | accessdate = 2007-05-31 }}</ref> in the Red Box back catalogue, a Petition has been created which shows support for the reissue of both albums on CD. None of the tracks from either ''[[The Circle & The Square]]'' or ''[[Motive (album)|Motive]]'' are available for [[music download|download]] from legitimate online sources, except for the original [[Cherry Red Records|Cherry Red]] release of "Chenko", which appears on the ''Ambition—the History of Cherry Red Records Vol. 1 & 2'' and ''Pillows & Prayers Vol. 1 & 2 (Cherry Red 1982–1984)'' compilations, however, a new recording of "Lean on Me" by Toulson-Clarke and Close was made available through [[iTunes Store|iTunes]] in September 2007.
Plans for a possible third Red Box album have been tentatively mentioned, utilising unpublished material written at the time of the first two Red Box records.<ref name="lewisslade.com">{{cite web | title = Simon Toulson-Clarke: The Interview | publisher = lewisslade.com | url = http://www.lewisslade.com/redbox/STC_INTERVIEW2003.html | accessdate = 2007-05-30 }}</ref>
==Other projects==
=== Enjoy ===
In 1990 Red Box scored a club hit with "Enjoy" which was essentially a remix, by [[Paul Oakenfold]], of an old [[B-side]], under the ''Solid Gold Easy Amex'' name. This record charted at Number 75 on [[Independent Radio]]'s ''Network Chart'' (also used by ''Number One Magazine'') but missed the [[The Gallup Organization|Gallup]] [[UK Singles Chart]] as used by the [[Guinness Book of British Hit Singles]].
=== Julian Close ===
Julian Close left the band in 1987 and worked behind the scenes at [[EMI]] for several years, eventually becoming Head of [[A & R]].<ref name="lewisslade.com">{{cite web | title = Simon Toulson-Clarke: The Interview | publisher = lewisslade.com | url = http://www.lewisslade.com/redbox/STC_INTERVIEW2003.html | accessdate = 2007-05-30 }}</ref> He went on to run the ''Silent Records'' label, and more recently Tube Recordings. He received an acknowledgement in the ''[[Motive (album)|Motive]]'' sleeve notes as "Sniffy".<ref name="lewisslade.com">{{cite web | title = Simon Toulson-Clarke: The Interview | publisher = lewisslade.com | url = http://www.lewisslade.com/redbox/STC_INTERVIEW2003.html | accessdate = 2007-05-30 }}</ref>
Nowadays Julian co-owns a restaurant/bar in Bristol city centre called the "Queen Square Dining Room & Bar".
=== Simon Toulson-Clarke ===
[[Simon Toulson-Clarke]] has since balanced various roles as sound engineer, producer and songwriter albeit for other artists. He contributed to two songs on the 2007 [[Miguel Bosé]] album ''[[Papito]]'', sharing co-writing honours with [[Michael Stipe]] on the track "Lo Que Hay Es lo Que Vas".<ref name="billboard.com">{{cite web | title = Miguel Bosé: Papito | publisher = billboard.com | url = http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/discography/index.jsp?JSESSIONID=21tcG5jHtNGpyc1m4zlK4g5NHRBSVvwdqc1nbwXpbyNZTBbscvFY!1852584476&pid=24753&aid=897130 | accessdate = 2007-06-23 }}</ref>
