**Salt Tank** are two English record producers, David Gates and Malcolm Stanners, plus percussionist and vocalist Andy Rose, from [Basingstoke](/source/Basingstoke).[1] Their music ranges from laid-back [trance](/source/Trance_music), such as their [hit single](/source/Hit_single) "Eugina" (some of its many versions include a [sample](/source/Sampling_(music)) from "[Me and a Gun](/source/Me_and_a_Gun)" by [Tori Amos](/source/Tori_Amos)) to tougher [techno](/source/Techno) sounds.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

## Biography

The trio recorded several singles before signing a recording contract with Internal Records and securing a UK Top 40 hit single with "Eugina".[1] Their debut album, *Science and Nature*, was released on that label in 1996.[1] They enjoyed a brief flirtation with the [UK Singles Chart](/source/UK_Singles_Chart) in May 1996 when "Eugina" peaked at No. 40. Other such chart entries included "Dimension" (1999, #52) and "Eugina" ([remix](/source/Remix)) (2000, No. 58).[2] By 1991, Stanners and Gates had also recorded three [EPs](/source/Extended_play) on their own label, 4 Real Communications.[1] The releases created an interest in the dance community, and reached radio via [John Peel](/source/John_Peel).[1]

They have collaborated with other musicians such as [Chicane](/source/Chicane_(recording_artist)), in the track "Leaving Town", which can be found in Chicane's album *[Far from the Maddening Crowds](/source/Far_from_the_Maddening_Crowds)*. In turn, Salt Tank had the song remixed by trance artist Mea Culpa and re-titled it, "Pueblo Blanco". It was issued on 1999's *Gatecrasher : Wet*.

Drummer/vocalist Andy Rose died in November 2012 following a fight with cancer. Prior to Salt Tank he was joint lead vocalist with UK indie rap band EB and the System. Later he became known as AR Logic.
