DATA (band)

DATA were an electronic music band created in the late 1970s by Georg Kajanus, creator of such bands as Eclection, Sailor and Noir (with Tim Dry of the robotic/music duo Tik and Tok). After the break-up of Sailor in the late 1970s, Kajanus decided to experiment with electronic music and formed DATA, together with vocalists Francesca ("Frankie") and Phillipa ("Phil") Boulter, daughters of British singer John Boulter.

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 directed by Jonathan Lewis and starred Anna Quayle and Ken Campbell. Towers of Babel 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.

DATA released two more albums, the experimental 2-Time (1983) and the Country & Western-inspired electronica album Elegant Machinery (1985). The title of the last album was the inspiration for the name of Swedish pop synth group, elegant MACHINERY, formerly known as Pole Position.

Data (word)

The word data has generated considerable controversy on if it is a singular, uncountable noun, or should be treated as the plural of the now-rarely-used datum.

Usage in English

In one sense, data is the plural form of datum. Datum actually can also be a count noun with the plural datums (see usage in datum article) that can be used with cardinal numbers (e.g. "80 datums"); data (originally a Latin plural) is not used like a normal count noun with cardinal numbers and can be plural with such plural determiners as these and many or as a singular abstract mass noun with a verb in the singular form. Even when a very small quantity of data is referenced (one number, for example) the phrase piece of data is often used, as opposed to datum. The debate over appropriate usage continues, but "data" as a singular form is far more common.

In English, the word datum is still used in the general sense of "an item given". In cartography, geography, nuclear magnetic resonance and technical drawing it is often used to refer to a single specific reference datum from which distances to all other data are measured. Any measurement or result is a datum, though data point is now far more common.

    Blood Too Hot

    by: Scorpions

    I came all around the world just to be with you
    I've been flying supersonic, between black and blue
    I promised I'd be there
    And now I'm here and I won't go
    Before I give you everything I've got
    You left everything behind, just to feel that touch
    To join the family of spiders. really means so much
    There's a storm up in the air
    It's the power we all share
    When it runs through our flesh and blood
    If your blood is so hot
    Stand up and rock with me
    If your blood is too hot, rock with me
    If your blood is so hot
    Stand up and rock with me
    If your blood is too hot, rock with me
    I came all around the world, like on flying wings
    To hear you screaming out for more, still means everything
    Raise your hands up in the air
    I swear to you that I'll be there
    I swear it, in the name of rock
    If your blood is so hot
    Stand up and rock with me
    If your blood is too hot, rock with me
    If your blood is so hot
    Stand up and rock with me
