History


Formation and ''Dominator'' (1990—1994)

Jon Campbell was the frontman of the synthpop band Thru the Fire from 1987 to 1990. He described Thru the Fire as "trying to be Depeche Mode". He later dissolved the band to form The Time Frequency, while keeping the initials. Their first release was the

EP, ''Futurama''. In 1992, the band released the single " Real Love" through the record label Jive Records. They released more singles and EPs until 1994, when they released their first album, '' Dominator'', which included many of the singles that had been released prior to 1994, as well as new tracks.


Kiani's departure, Debbie Millar joining and ''Dominator 2'' (1994–2012)

In 1994, session singer Mary Kiani was replaced with Debbie Millar, a singer from Bournemouth. Millar sang "Dreamscape '94", TTF's two singles with Tom Wilson released in 1998 and 1999 respectively, and most songs on the second album ''Dominator 2''. A greatest hits album was released in 2007, titled ''TTF – The Ultimate Collection''. It includes remixes and tracks by other artists that sampled TTF tracks. While it was originally planned to be released in late 2004, its release was delayed to 2007. In 2008, TTF released their second studio album, a follow-up to ''Dominator'' titled ''Dominator 2''; No singles were released from the album. It had been in production for roughly 10 years; prior to this, an album titled ''Escape'' was completed and planned to be released on
