Syntonic (album)
Syntonic is the second album by Canadian synthpop group Kon Kan, released in 1990 by Atlantic Records. "Syntonic" was the first Kon Kan album to solely feature Barry Harris; Kevin Wynne had departed the previous year. Two singles were released from the album: "Liberty!" and "(Could've Said) I Told You So", the latter featuring a recreation of Jimmy Soul's 1963 number one hit, "If You Wanna Be Happy". "Time" features a recreation of Canadian band Trooper's "We're Here For A Good Time (Not A Long Time)". Four songs were co-written with Bob Mitchell , who had also co-written Cheap Trick's 1988 number one hit, "The Flame", and songs on Kon Kan's previous album. Four tracks were produced or co-produced by renowned disco producer John Luongo, who had also worked with Blancmange in the early 1980s. Two tracks were co-produced by Paul Robb, a member of Minnesota band Information Society. "Victim" was originally a 1978 Candi Staton single. The Kon Kan version was originally conceived as a duet featuring Tim Curry and Carole Pope.
