Q-Feel were a British synthpop outfit who got exactly one shot at glory and made it count. Their self-titled album arrived in 1982 on Jive Records, and on it sat "Dancing in Heaven (Orbital Be-Bop)", a giddy, space-age synth rush with a beat built for the roller rink and a title that sounds like a lost sci-fi B-movie.
Before it became a hit, the song was entered in that year's A Song for Europe, Britain's playoff for the Eurovision Song Contest, where it placed sixth of eight while Bardo walked off with the ticket. Pop has a way of evening the score: it became their only hit, and the name Q-Feel is now shorthand for the classic one-hit wonder, an act remembered for a single shimmering moment rather than a career. Martin Page was among its members, with Trevor Thornton on drums.
