Moreover, The Canadian James Teej, has over twenty years producing and playing, and is known for its seal and electronic band: My Favorite Robot. Over time, these two producers decided to embark together on a project that would eventually improve and expand the perspective and nuances in current electronic music. However, all this would not have been possible if behind him there was not one of the most representative figures of contemporary rock: Paul McCartney, and his singular theme: “1985“. This composition, with clear references to “1984” by George Orwell, was released as the ending theme in the B-side album “Band on the Run”, published in 1973.
