This Island Earth has been played on NTS shows including Field Work, with Take Me To The Fire first played on 1 November 2014.

This Island Earth were a New Wave band from England, made up of the following members:

John Hawkins- Vocals, keyboards Steve Brown- Drums Rachel Furness- Backing vocals Mark Griffis- Guitar Kevin Brown- Piano

They released 2 singles: See That Glow (1984) and Take Me To The Fire (1985). Although a video for "See That Glow" was made and broadcast, their record company (Magnet) didn't support the band too good, and thus no album was ever released, although it appears a number of tracks for it have been recorded.
