Timeline
Kajanus moved with his mother and sister to Paris at the age of twelve where he studied music and classical guitar, as well as attending the Cité Universitaire’s flying school. The family then relocated to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where Kajanus worked as a stained-glass window designer.
And The Mamluks was released by Angel Air Records in 2018.
Opera Electronica and 2-TiME were re-released by Angel Air Records in 2017.
In 2008, Kajanus began working with Roberto Trippini and Barbie Wilde on a new version of the Sailor musical - an update of his original Red Light Review concept - which he describes as "a bittersweet musical about two people searching for love in the ruins of post-War Marseille".
Noir's Strange Desire CD was released on Angel Air Records in 2007.
Kajanus composed the soundtracks for two documentaries directed by award-winning German filmmaker Monika Treut: Didn't Do It For Love (1997) and Gendernauts (1999). His compositions, A Glass of Champagne and Girls Girls Girls have featured in many movies and TV shows over the years, as well as TV commercial campaigns (Marks & Spencer, Priceline - Australia).
Noir's album Strange Desire, recorded in 1995, was eventually released on Angel Air Records in 2007.
Kajanus reformed Sailor in 1990 and the band went on to achieve further success in Europe, releasing two albums: Sailor and Street Lamp, again penned by Kajanus, on BMG-Ariola and touring extensively.
In the late 1990s, Kajanus left Sailor again to form the poetic-techno duo Noir with Tim Dry. Noir's single Walking was used extensively in the Channel 4 TV series, Feast, an avant-garde culinary program.
In 1989, Kajanus reunited with Henry Marsh and Phil Pickett to write and record some new material. This was not released at the time, but three songs are featured in Sailor's Buried Treasure 2-CD box set (2006).
He worked with the Japanese composer and musician Shigeru Umebayashi, co-writing and producing songs for his album, Ume (1988).
Shortly after DATA disbanded, Kajanus formed Fatima and the Mamluks with Henry Marsh. They recorded only four songs, with two being released on a Razormaid! anthology on vinyl, Razormaid: The Epilogue: Back to Basics (1985). Kajanus and Marsh also collaborated on the soundtrack for the British TV series, The Kid (1986), starring actor/singer Steve Fairnie.
DATA released two more albums, the experimental 2-TiME (1983) and Elegant Machinery (1985).
The classically orientated title track of DATA's first album, Opera Electronica, was used as the theme music to the short film, Towers of Babel (1981), which was nominated for a BAFTA Award in 1982 and won the Silver Hugo Award for Best Short Film at the Chicago International Film Festival of the same year.
Living Inside Me from the 2-TiME album became a major hit in the 1980's club scene in the USA.
In the mid 1980s, Kajanus continued his experimentation with electronic music, collaborating with Henry Marsh of Sailor on the short-lived, unconventional combo called. . . And The Mamluks, which achieved some nightclub success in the USA with the Razormaid remix of the track, Hassan. The Hammer and the Heart by. . .
After leaving Sailor in 1978, Kajanus began to experiment with electronic music, forming DATA with Frankie and Phil Boulter. The classical-oriented title track of DATA’s first album, Opera Electronica, was the theme music to the short film, Towers of Babel (1981). DATA then followed with two more studio albums, 2-TiME (1983) and Elegant Machinery (1985).
Sailor signed to Epic Records-CBS Records and between 1974 and 1978 released five albums with Kajanus: Sailor, Trouble, The Third Step, Checkpoint (without Pickett) and Hideaway. Kajanus was the lead singer, guitarist and, for the first three albums, the sole songwriter for the band, penning its two major hits, "A Glass of Champagne" and "Girls, Girls, Girls". Kajanus then left Sailor, leaving Pickett as the creative force behind their next album, Dressed for Drowning.
Kajanus and Phil Pickett, who had been acquainted for some time, collaborated on an album, Hi Ho Silver! (1972), as Kajanus/Pickett. Deciding to form a group, tentatively named KP Packet, Kajanus and Pickett enlisted drummer and percussionist Grant Serpell (Affinity), and keyboard player and guitarist Henry Marsh (Gringo). In 1973, the foursome made their first recordings in a small studio in North London. Most of this material was not released at the time, but three demos are featured in Sailor's Buried Treasure 2-CD box set (2006).
