Encyclopedia
Rupert Neville Hine is an English
musician, songwriter and prolific record producer, having produced albums for artists including Kevin Ayers
, Tina Turner
, Howard Jones
, Saga
, The Fixx
, Bob Geldof
, Thompson Twins
, Stevie Nicks
, Chris de Burgh
, Suzanne Vega
, Rush
, Underworld
, Duncan Sheik
, and Eleanor McEvoy
.
In addition, Hine has recorded eleven albums, including ones billed under his own name, the pseudo-band name Thinkman, and with the group Quantum Jump
.
. The duo's one released single (on the Decca
label in 1965) was a cover of Simon's "The Sounds of Silence". The single was not a success, but was notable for featuring a young Jimmy Page
on guitar and Herbie Flowers
on bass.
Hine released two albums under his own name in the early 70s: Pick Up a Bone (1971) and Unfinished Picture
(1973).
In 1973, Hine, along with guitarist Mark Warner, bassist John G. Perry (then of Caravan
) and drummer Trevor Morais (formerly of The Peddlers
) formed the band Quantum Jump
, releasing two albums, Quantum Jump (1976) and Barracuda (1977). After a re-release of the track "Lone Ranger" (from Quantum Jump) became an unexpected U.K. Top Ten hit in 1979, a third album – Mixing, a reworking of tracks selected from the first two Quantum Jump albums – was released.
After Quantum Jump disbanded, Hine released a trilogy of albums under his own name, including Immunity
(1981); Waving Not Drowning (1982); and The Wildest Wish to Fly
(1983). The American release of Wildest Wish dropped two tracks, radically reworked two others and incorporated two tracks from 1981's Immunity – including "Misplaced Love", which featured a guest vocal by Marianne Faithfull
and had been a minor hit in Australia
.
In 1985, Hine wrote and produced much of the soundtrack for the black comedy
film Better Off Dead.
Hine subsequently recorded three albums under the name Thinkman, which was conceived as a "virtual band" – essentially a solo Hine project with actors (including a then-unknown Julian Clary
) employed to give the illusion of a larger group. Thinkman's debut, The Formula, was released in 1985. Though the actors portraying the band did not appear on the album, it did feature contributions from Jamie West-Oram from The Fixx
and Stewart Copeland
from The Police
. Lisa Dalbello
provided guest vocals on the title track. A second album, Life is a Full-Time Occupation, was released in 1988. A third and final album, Hard Hat Zone, was released in 1990.
In 1994, Hine released The Deep End. In 1995 he joined with guitarist Phil Palmer
, Paul Carrack
, Steve Ferrone
and Tony Levin
to form the band Spin 1ne 2wo. The group released a self-titled project, made up rock covers of songs by artists including Jimi Hendrix
, The Who
, Led Zeppelin
, Blind Faith
, Steely Dan
and Bob Dylan
.
In 2008, Hine oversaw the direction of the compilation album Songs for Tibet: The Art of Peace, and also contributed to it a remixed version of his song, "The Heart of the Matter" (from The Deep End).
Hine wrote two songs for Le Cheshire Cat et moi, a 2009 CD by Nolwenn Leroy
which was produced by Teitur Lassen
.
