Origin Montreal,Quebec, Canada Genres Synth-pop hi-NRG new wave Years active 19811988, 1995present Labels Matra, Saisons,ZYX,Atlantic,Atco Records,Mirage Records Trans-X was started by Canadian musician Pascal Languirand, previously known for his albums in theambient,cosmicandspace musicgenres. The name comes from the 1977Kraftwerksong "Trans-Europe Express", which Languirand thought "was catchy and reflected well the direction I wanted to take with Trans-X". In 1982 he recruited Montreal keyboardist and programmer Steve Wyatt as the second half of the Trans-X duo. Together they recorded a demo that got Trans-X a recording contract for a single, "Vivre sur Vido". Steve Wyatt played some synthesizer and did some programming on "Vivre sur Vido". He also composed "Digital World" and played all the instruments on the track, which was on theB-sideof the single. "Digital World" can also be found on the maxi-single and on the band's debut album. Wyatt left Trans-X sometime in late 1983. When "Living on Video" (the English version of "Vivre sur Vido") was released in May 1983, it was an instant hit in Canada and the single later sold two million copies and reached British and European Top ten charts on its 1985 release. Later in 1983, Trans-X released another song "Message on the Radio" which did not make it into the charts, and Trans-X ended the year with another single, "3D-Dance". All these songs featured on the band's 1983 debut album,Living on Video, known in Canada asMessage on the Radio. For the studio recording of the album, Anne Brosseau was hired to do backing vocals. However, she decided not to perform with Trans-X. For this reason, Montrealer Laurie Ann Gill, who performed backing vocals for synthpop groupNudimension, was recruited for promotional pictures, TV performances andtouring, which she did until 1985.
