History[]
Jon Campbell was the singer of the synthpop band, 'Thru the Fire' from 1987 to 1990, when he left the band to form The Time Frequency. Their first release was the white label EP, "Futurama".[1] In 1992, the band released "Real Love" through the record label Jive Records.[1] They released more singles and EPs until 1994, when they released their first album, Dominator, which included many of the singles that had been released prior to 1994.
Jive Records would not pay session singer Mary Kiani enough money to be a full-time member of the act and this resulted in her no longer being hired by The Time Frequency. In 1994, she was replaced with Debbie Millar, a singer from Bournemouth. Millar sang "Dreamscape '94", TTF's two singles with Tom Wilson released in 1998 and 1999 respectively, and most songs on the second album Dominator 2.
A greatest hits album was released on 7 May 2007, titled TTF – The Ultimate Collection. It included many of TTF's popular tracks.
In 2008, TTF released their third album, follow-up to Dominator, titled Dominator 2. No singles were released from Dominator 2. Around
The Time Frequency released a new single "I Can Feel It" with vocals from.Cheryl Barnes on 31 August 2015, with the video posted to group's YouTube channel on 30 September 2015. It made its debut on Radio Clyde in June 2015. The Time Frequency then released the album Futurelands in 2017. Songs include "Keep Holding On", a featuring vocals from Cheryl Barnes, and "Come Alive", vocals by Lorena Dale, the current singer with TTF.
Jon Campbell called the group's 2018 single "Home", "my best Time Frequency song ever".[citation needed] It debuted on George Bowie's GBX, Radio Clyde on 21 April 2018.
In November 2018, Jon Campbell and the Time Frequency released the single "In Heaven", with posthumous vocals by Millar.
