Before Toni Halliday joined Dean Garcia to form Curve, she released a solo album called “Hearts And Handshakes.” The tracks were produced by her and Alan Moulder of NIN fame. The record is a pale comparison to Curve, but you can certainly hear hints of the greatness to come. The song “Time Turns Around” was the first single from the lp. I believe she released one more single from this release, plus a couple of other 7″/12″ releases that I’ve never been able to track down.

the Alan Wilder (Depeche Mode, Recoil) ‘Eurotech’ remix of “Time Turns Around” is fantastic… track that down if you can…
As it happens, I have the Eurotech remix of “Time Turns Around” (bought it for 50p from a bargain bin) and the follow-up single “Weekday”. Those were the two singles that made me first pay attention to Curve who must have been my favourite band of the early 1990s.
