Origin: Calgary, Alberta
Biography:

Every city had their 'favourite' club band and in the late 70's, Time Machine was undeniably Calgary's favourite club band. A seven-piece band with talented players like Ted Alexander, Ron Kuntz (who later formed Shylock with Bob Matthews of Fosterchild) and Hugh MacMillan (who would later become bassist for Spirit of the West), the band was tight, and often on-call for the city's flourishing recording scene's sessions. Their music achieved significant airplay on both Top 40 and Adult Contemporary playlists in Canada - and helped bolster the label as a viable entity.. Shopping the band for distribution to other labels in other countries presented a problem though - the common complaint, "They sound too much like Chicago". Nonetheless, a second single was to follow. Heart Records (and its publishing arm) was attracting the attention of other independent music companies worldwide; Sticky Wicket was one. A co-publishing deal was stuck, and Angel In The Night became the label's 9th single release.
