of Visage. Due to the corona pandemic the concerts were cancelled. They’re scheduled again for 2021, but it’s not certain whether the situation around the Covid-measures will be improved in time. In 2021 the first song in a series of coöperations between Zaine Griff and Chris Payne (Tubeway Army, Visage) was released: Trip, Stumble and Fall. The songs are to ‘describe the breakdown of relationships in different stages of your life’. An album with these songs is almost completed and expected to be released in 2023. Zaine had never forgotten the Helden Project, he took part in with Hans Zimmer and Warren Cann in 1983. The recorded album appeared never to have been completely finished and was never released. In recent years Zaine Griff spoke to Hans Zimmer about performing Helden songs live on stage, but it did not result in a concert. Then Zaine created plans to ‘unearth’ this album and make a re-recording of the entire album. He asked Warren Cann to join the new Helden Project. Cann welcomed the idea of a remake, but did not want to join as ‘he was not active in music anymore’. Thus Zaine formed a completely new team around him to re-record the Helden Project album Spies. To stay as close to the atmosphere and sound of the original recordings as they could, they used Warren Cann’s original drum and percussion arrangements and used synthesizers and equipment from the early Eighties when the original recordings were made. The album was released 30 November 2022 and surprised many fans of Zaine Griff, Ultravox and Hans Zimmer - as this is the first time the Helden songs are released in full sound quality. The Helden Project // Spies album was received in a very positive way and got good reviews, speaking about ‘high quality album, giving the Helden songs the quality they deserve’ and even calling it ‘a masterpiece’. Martyn Ware (former Human League and Heaven 17) interviewed Zaine Griff about it in his radio broadcast ‘Electronically Yours’. Dutch Radio channel Xymphonia, dedicated to progressive music, listed Zaine’s new Helden album in their list of ‘Best Albums Of 2022’.
