Hypnotone was a British electronic act revolving around Tony Martin, who had previously worked with Creation Records with a different line-up featuring the vocals of Denise Johnson on releases such as ‘Dream Beam’ (remixed by Danny Rampling and Ben Champion). The modern Hypnotone included vocalist Cordelia Ruddock, discovered by Martin at a fashion show, Lee Royle, whom he met through a computer bulletin board and Cormac Fultan, a pianist and organist, who met Martin in the more conventional environment of a bar. The group released a couple of albums and several singles in the early 90's, before splitting up.
