Greater Than One is an English electronic music band, founded by husband and wife Michael Wells and Lee Newman in 1985.
In 1985, Newman and Wells met at the Royal College of Art in London, formed Greater Than One, and released their first album Kill the Pedagogue on cassette.
During the late 1980s they organised art installations and exhibitions accompanied by their own music: "When the whole audience were in, we started a soundtrack ... war sirens and searchlights.
After the shock, Islamic chanting began which then changed to Song For England, during which we came onstage wearing illuminous skull masks...".
The remix by Flamman & Abraxas was accompanied by a video featuring three youths with shaved heads, wearing Mokum T-shirts and carrying inflatable hammers, chasing a hippy on a bicycle around a park in Amsterdam.
"Happy Birthday" fared mildly well in Europe, cracking the top 20 in the UK and Finland in April at No.
