The All Seeing I were a British electronic music group from Sheffield, England, comprising Dean Honer, Jason Buckle and DJ Parrot (real name Richard Barratt).[1]
The band released their first single "I Walk" in 1997, but it was not until the year after that they gained mainstream commercial success with the song "Beat Goes On", a remixed cover of the Sonny Bono song, using the vocals from Buddy Rich's version, which were sung by his daughter Cathy.[1]
Their works were something of a Sheffield collective, and the trio worked with artists from the city including Tony Christie, Jarvis Cocker, Philip Oakey, Babybird and many others.[1] Their regular live vocalist was Bozz, who later went on to form electronica duo Hiem.
All Seeing I were asked in November 1998 to produce a cover of "Beat Goes On" for Britney Spears' debut album ...Baby One More Time.[1] They have also remixed a variety of artists, including Pulp.
Dean Honer also fronts the similarly styled group, I Monster.
Buckle went on to be a part-time member of Fat Truckers and formed Relaxed Muscle with Jarvis Cocker. He also has a brief cameo as one of the Weird Sisters rock band in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, along with Cocker, Pulp's Steve Mackey, Steve Claydon of Add N to (X), and Phil Selway and Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead.
Barratt was part of the duo Sweet Exorcist with Richard H. Kirk (of Cabaret Voltaire fame).
