Craig Walker song takes The Avener to number one all over Europe
Here’s a rather nifty map showing the current iTunes chart positions of ‘Fade Out Lines’, the song co-authored by former Power Of Dreams man Craig Walker and turned into a mega Euro smash by German DJ and production whiz The Avener.
“I wrote the original with Phoebe Kildeer - who sings on both versions - in 2099 for her second album,” the Dubliner tells Hot Press. “It did okay and was used in the (Luc Besson and Olivier Megaton) movie Colombiana.
“We thought that was that until July this year when I got sent a remix by The Avener and was told by the label they expected it to do well. I didn’t expect it to do so well! I’ve waited 25 years for a number one and then a load come at once… a bit like Dublin Bus!”
