I also like petrol ones as the Celica has just gone through her MOT and is now purring.
So who is Patrick D. Martin? Beats me. Beats the beeb too. Left and to the Back has a stab, however they can't uncover much either. It seems that Martin rode the New Wave in 1979, smashing Sparks, Ian Dury, Giorgio Moroder and Plastic Bertrand together and then disappeared. He left behind a series of odd yet prescient singles that focused on technology and on the future.
And that's that.
