Luna Twist

edit

Luna Twist was a Belgian new-wave band formed in 1981. They had brief success in Belgium with their single, African Time, but did not reach any commercial success.

In 1982, they released their first album, A Different Smell From The Same Perfume. They also released a single in the same year, African TIme, but did not achieve any success in the charts.

In 1983, the band split due to internal differences. A best of collection, "The Original Recordings", was released in 1998 under Mercury records.[1]

In 2009, Backbeat was released by Luna Twist; the next year, Madame Soleil[2] and Gently the Day[3] were also released.
