Although husband-and-wife team Michael Wells and
Lee Newman recorded under many different names (including
Tommy Yamaha, Tricky Disco and
GTO) for labels such as XL, R&S, Mute and React, they gained most of their success as
Technohead. "I Wanna Be a Hippy" stayed at number one on the Dutch charts for four weeks in mid-1995, but on August 4, just three days after the couple released their debut album Headsex,
Lee Newman died of cancer. ~ John Bush
