The techno-pop trio Arkarna was led by vocalist and programmer Ollie Jacobs, whose musical career began when he was a teenager working at his father's London recording studio, Rollover, where he handled engineering and production duties on projects for Dreadzone, Deep Forest, Leftfield and others. Jacobs formed Arkarna with guitarist James Barnett, a onetime member of Lunarci, and guitarist Lalo Creme, the son of 10cc alum Lol Creme. Despite signing to WEA in 1995, the trio did not issue their debut single "House on Fire" until mid-1997, when it also appeared on the soundtrack to the big-budget flop Batman and Robin; their first LP, Fresh Meat, appeared a few months later. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide |
