Anthony Patrick James "Tony" McGuinness,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Tony+McGuinness )〕 (born 23 April 1969) is a British musician and one third of the UK trance group Above & Beyond. He was guitarist/songwriter with cult indie band Sad Lovers & Giants for nearly 10 years. ==Biography== Tony McGuinness played guitar (Fender Jazzmaster) with English indie band Sad Lovers & Giants, with whom he released three albums, between 1988 and 2002. Towards the end of his time with SL&G, McGuinness was also a highly successful marketing director for Warner Music Group, winning awards for his campaigns for Madonna, Seal, Simply Red and Mike Oldfield. While working at Warners, McGuinness shifted away from alternative rock towards electronic dance music. He worked as A&R for a number of dance artists, including William Orbit and Hysteric Ego. Tony McGuinness and his brother Liam teamed up to create electronic dance music under the alias Nitromethane since the early 2000s. While still working at Warner, Tony was asked to remix Chakra's "Home" by an A&R colleague. Tony approached Anjunabeats (Jono Grant and Paavo Siljamäki) to work on the remix together. The result, their remix of "Home", was an instant hit, ruling the dance floors and topping the dance charts for many weeks. The collaboration led to the creation of Above & Beyond, consisting of McGuinness, Grant, and Siljamäki.
Teaming up and working as Above & Beyond, their next most significant output was a remix of Madonna's "What It Feels Like for a Girl" during the year 2000. This track was approved by Madonna, and it was released on Warner Records. Since then, Above & Beyond have gone on to become one of the most successful UK production and DJ groups in the world, with a number of high-profile remixes for Dido, Delerium, Ferry Corsten and others, productions under their own name (their debut artist album, ''Tri-State'' was called "Brilliant" by DJ Magazine and earned 5 stars) and as OceanLab. As DJs they currently rank Number 25 in the official DJ Mag Top 100. Above & Beyond's second studio album, Group Therapy, features Tony's first ever vocal single with Richard Bedford on the track "Black Room Boy". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tony McGuinness (English musician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
